The college management has lodged a complaint with the Moodbidri police stating that the student, Sattambiralage Don Nimnatarushi Sebastian, was found missing from her hostel room.

Apparently, she had complained to her college management about facilities in the hostel on July 17. On July 25, the 26-year-old lady went missing from her hostel. According to the police, Sebastian left the hostel in the morning as usual but did not attend the class. Upon examining the CCTV footage of the hostel and the neighborhood, it was found out that Sebastian was headed in the direction of Mangaluru (Mangalore), another coastal city.
