Karuppannan, father of Loganathan (24), submitted a petition to Collector K Magarabhushanam, saying his son got a job as a technician in a firm in Malaysia through an agent in February last. He was staying in a room there with friends.
On January 7, he telephoned him but the very same day, after going out from his room at night, he did not return, Karuppannan said.
He came to know that Loganathan was missing after one of his friends from Malaysia visited him on January 15 and informed him.
