Yesterday, it was around 10–10:30 pm, and he didn’t return home. When we call, the phone shows a switch off. So, we went out for a search. We have searched everywhere and also informed the police. The police had patrolled but found no one. Later, at approximately 12:31 a.m., when we were returning home, we saw the shoe floating in the water.
