According to the report, Malik was recently transferred to Pernem police station from Panaji and he had not reported on the duty yesterday. The sources also revealed that he was seen disturbed for few months while on the work, which could be the result of some personal problems and that he was also missing for few days while he was attached to Panaji police station.
