The police found a passport and a high school certificate inside the bag identifying the holder as Vinay Kumar, resident of Jalandhar cantonment, Punjab. The police station in-charge informed the higher authourity about this matter, on which SSP Shweta Choubey instructed him to constitute a team to recover the missing youth. The police team went into action in search of the missing youth and got the mobile number from the transport department on the basis of the registration number of the car. However, his phone was found to be not reachable. The police contacted his father who told the police that on November 11 Vinay had gone to Amritsar from Jalandhar but had not returned till now. He said that his son had an inclination towards spiritual matters and was silent for nearly one week in the home. His friends had said that Vinay had been indifferent and quiet for about one month. The district police, water police, SDRF and fire service searched for the missing youth in the forest, river and Ghats after which they finally succeeded in finding him near Parmarth Niketan in Rishikesh. The recovered Vinay told the police that he was in depression and inclined towards spiritualism and wanted to remain alone. This is why he had come to Lakshman Jhula without informing his parents and had kept his mobile phone switched off. The police handed over the youth to his parents.
