Patna, Jun 11 : Twenty days after his abduction, Navy today succeeded in finding the decomposed body of Satyendra Singh, JD(U) leader Vijay Krishna's close aide, from Ganga.

"A six-member Navy team assisted by local police and fishermen located Singh's body near Duli Ghat, about 15 km from here," SSP R Mallar Vizhi said.



Singh's relatives have identified the body. A Patna-based tailor who had stitched Singh's trousers which he wore on the fateful day too confirmed that the body was that of Singh, Vizhi said.



Abducted on May 23 when he had gone to purchase a car, Singh was later killed and his body dumped in river Ganga.



Police had earlier found blood-stained clothes and buckets from a flat here owned by Krishna's son, Chanakya alias Guddu.



Police had also approached the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate seeking issuance of a proclamation notice against Krishna and Guddu, Vizhi said.



The police had taken Gagan, a domestic help of Guddu, on remand for two days for interrogation which led to a breakthrough in the probe, Vizhi said.



During interrogation Gagan confirmed that Guddu had gunned down Singh at his flat.



Singh's body was brought to Patna Medical College and Hospital for autopsy.
