"We have located Bagra, a government employee from Mawkhanu area when villagers reported about a stranger in their village," East Khasi Hills district SP Davis Marak said.
He was conscious when the police found him but was unaware of the events that had transpired and does not know why he had gone all the way till Mawkhanu, about 10 km away, the SP said.
Bagra had taken a rented accommodation near the North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences at Mawpat as his wife was under treatment at the hospital and was gone missing since June 20 last.
Acting on a missing complaint, a search operation was launched and words were passed to nearby village elders about the missing man from Arunchal Pradesh.
After his rescue, Bagra was handed over to his family after completing all formalities, the SP said.
