The man was immediately admitted to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital. His family members were searched, but no clues were found."
"After three days of searching, we finally tracked down the man’s family members on November 9 and informed them. It was found they had lodged a missing complaint at Nand Nagri police station. The family of the patient said he had left home on November 4. When he failed to return, they approached the police. The parents informed us that their son was an alcoholic and had previously been admitted to a drug addiction centre,” added the DCP.
