Addressing a press conference, Superintendent of Police (North) P Akshat Kaushal said that the complaint was received on Tuesday by Mandrem police and she was traced within 12 hours.

"A missing report was lodged by the guest house owner wherein he informed that Aarti Hamal, native of Nepal, has gone missing. She was on tour in Goa," Kaushal said.
