Bhubaneswar: Police on Wednesday recovered the body of a man who had been missing after jumping into Kathajodi River here on October 9.
The deceased, Debabrata Mahapatra, had jumped into the river to commit suicide after an alleged altercation with his wife. He was a resident of Karanja village near Niali.
