The youth has been identified as 23-year-old Sarath Kumar, a native of Bhadravathi.
Sharath, who had come to Kollur with a friend on Sunday, had gone to Arasinagundi Falls. He was reportedly standing on a rock and posing for pictures when he slipped and fell into the roaring water.
His friend immediately informed the nearby forest department staff about the incident. A search was launched with help from forest department personnel, fire brigade personnel, and locals.
