What problems will arise and how will I come to know that is a missing pointer that is causing the trouble?

Is this a question from your assignment??? Anyway, deleting a pointer(node) from a linked list without reconnecting it would cause you to lose all of the data which connect after the deleted node. As a result, memory leak would happen. There is a way to know that by traversing through the list. If you get an error (the next node is not null or end with null), you found the missing node.
