His family was taken by surprise at the news. They said he had gone to visit the farm and was caught in the rain. He did not show up that night.

Jewar police station in-charge said he had seen Gautam in a hut in the farm to escape the rain. He also noticed that Gautam was wearing his headphones while in the hut and talking.
