Concerns arose when Aarti’s friend informed the family of losing contact with her, prompting them to reach out unsuccessfully before involving the police. The last sighting of Aarti was near Ashwem Beach.

Gopal Hamal appealed for assistance through a social media post, stating that his daughter had been living in Goa and was last known to be near Zorba Beach, Ashwem.
He urged the community to aid in the search, revealing plans for his younger daughter, Arzoo, and son-in-law to travel to Goa. Contact information was provided for anyone willing to offer support in finding Aarti.
Arzoo, in a separate Facebook post, mentioned receiving numerous calls, some indicating Aarti’s last sighting at a bridge near Siolim.
“We have received over 500 calls since leaving Nepal for Lucknow. Calls continue even past midnight, with some reporting her last sighting near Siolim’s bridge. Speculations range from her being taken to a hospital in an ambulance after being found unconscious to being escorted to the police station,” Arzoo wrote, expressing gratitude for the support received.
