The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) personnel are conducting search operations to rescue the missing man.

A young man who had gone with his friends for a picnic has gone missing from Afalamukh Ghat, a popular tourist spot, in Assam’s Majuli district.

The missing person has been identified as Pinku Hazarika.

As per inputs, few belongings of the missing person have been recovered from a boat.

While speaking to the media, Pinku’s brother said, “Around 3.40 pm, I received a call from Jyoti Maina, one of my brother’s friends who went on a picnic with him, telling me that they were dancing together at around 11.30 am, and between that, Pinku moved to the side to receive the call and did not return back.”

“Meanwhile, Jyoti Maina also called my relative and told the same narrative, however, the time did not match. He informed me that Pinku disappeared around 11.30 am, and for my relative, he said around 2.30 pm Pinku disappeared,” he added.

He further added, “Based on his statement so far, it shows that foul play did take place in the cause of the missing of my brother.”

However, Police probe into the matter is underway. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) personnel are conducting search operations to rescue the missing man.
