Search continues for missing student, three weeks on
Vishav was last seen on March 18
Police investigations into the disappearance of an Indian student continue, three weeks after he went missing.
A police statement on Tuesday said that while the search for 18-year old Vishav “never stopped, he has unfortunately not been found yet”.
Vishav, who is a hospitality student at the La Vallette Institute in Ta’ Xbiex but is originally from Barara, in northern India, has not been seen since March 18.
His cousin, Sukhbir Singh, flew to Malta to help in the search. He told Times of Malta his family was “very worried” about Vishav.
A missing person’s statement was issued by the police on March 27, seven days after the man was first reported missing.
Vishav is believed to have been wearing a white zip-up jumper at the time of his disappearance. In his last phone call to his family in India, he sounded “calm” and “normal”.
His friend, Gurpreet Singh, said the two had dinner together on March 18 and then the student left at around 9.30pm.
The General Workers’ Union is also assisting in efforts to locate him, with its hospitality section secretary, Kevin Abela, saying the union was very concerned by the young man’s disappearance.
Anyone with information about the missing teenager should contact the police, even anonymously on telephone number 21 224001/119 or their nearest police station or Gurpreet Singh on 9996 1493.
