DHADING, Feb 16: The body of Santosh Yadav, son of slain Irrigation Secretary Ramanand Prasad Yadav, who was also killed after their jeep plunged into the Trishuli River on February 10, has been recovered on Friday from Benighat, Rorang Rural Municipality-5 a week after the incident. His body was found on the bank of the Trishuli River in Dhading district.

The dead bodies of secretary Yadav and Unnati Gupta, his friend's daughter, were recovered on the day of the accident while the secretary's 22-year-old son had been missing after the incident.
