When a few locals searched nearby, they found the boy sleeping in the terrace of the nearby four-storeyed apartment building. Later, the people who were involved in the search operation were called off.

It is said the boy who was playing outside moved towards the city, when vendors saw the child, they had asked the boy to go back to his residence. As the child could not recognise the way to his residence, he moved to the terrace of another apartment complex and fell asleep there due to tiredness and hunger.
