Someone subsequently called up the police control room and informed them about the situation. A few minutes later, a team from Jadavpur police station came to the spot and tried to find out if anything had gone wrong. But despite repeated searches of the area, police found no one.

Later, police knocked on the doors of the residents of the building, including

Acharjee, to talk over the matter. However, he did not respond.
