Till night when Mittal did not return, his family members went to Belghoria police station and lodged a missing diary. Immediately police tried to track his mobile phone but found it switched off. From the service provider, cops came to know that Mittal's mobile tower location was found in Duttapukur before it was switched off. Police along with few of his family members went to the said location in Duttapukur at night but found nothing.
Later, police transmitted an all concerned message to the police stations across the state with description of Mittal. Meanwhile when police scrutinized the CCTV footage of the Alambazar area found Mittal coming out of the temple. After scrutinising several CCTV footages, cops found Mittal going towards Birati via Gopal Lal Thakur Road, BT Road, MB Road.
