No, I can't, because I am not psychic.

I have already detailed a large number of wild guesses about why it might be.

Now I suspect that is p1 getting the void pointer as a result of called function(Send)?
Inside the Send function get_SendData is assigned with NULL value.
Yes, that would do it. That would ruin the value of p1 in main.

If p1 is void pointer , will this delete p1 work fine?

I am not sure about how to deallocate the void pointer?Despite being searched in the internet ,I still didn't get the clear answer
You don't. You'll have to save the pointer somewhere else, so that send() doesn't mangle it.

Copying a pointer doesn't do anything weird to the memory being pointed to. A pointer is, more or less, nothing but an integer, its value is the only thing that matters to delete.

Code:
void *p2=(void *)p1;
send(p2); // p2 is mangled, p1 is okay
delete p1;
