The body of a 21-year-old man was found in Magrahat in the South 24-Parganas district, officials said on Friday.
Ayan Mondal went missing on Bijaya Dashami evening after he left his home in Kolkata.
The recovery of the body of Ayan Mondal led to protests by his neighbours outside the Haridevpur police station in the southwestern part of the city, alleging inaction by the police.
Mondal had allegedly left his house on Wednesday to meet a female friend and went missing thereafter.
A missing complaint was filed with the police station on Thursday when he did not return home, Mondal's relatives claimed.
The family members were on Friday taken to Magrahat, where the body was identified, officials said.
