Could you please help us know if the above file is missing from the
location ( data-directory/base/16397 ) on the host where the database is
hosted ?

You might be knowing this : The file "106156081" belongs to a particular
table in the database with OID 16397.

If you have audit logs - did you notice if the file was accidentally
deleted or may be file system permissions/ownership has changed ?

Or any activity has happened which would not let the database user access
the file from the OS level ?
