The Mangaluru police on Wednesday found skeletal remains said to be of 24-year-old Safwan, a resident of Chokkabettu, in Agumbe Ghat.
Safwan, who is an accused in several criminal cases, was kidnapped on October 5 this year by members of the gang he was associated with.
The police arrested two persons who reportedly revealed that they murdered Safwan in Karkala and disposed of the body in Agumbe Ghat.
A team of policemen visited the spot on Wednesday and found the skeletal remains.
