'The last time I saw her, I asked if she was doing well. I didn't hear her answer because I started with all the water I had swallowed. After vomiting I looked around. I haven't seen anyone. I thought she had taken her things and left. '
He told the researchers that he fainted on the beach and heard nothing about Sudiksha until the next day when her friends text his friend.
