Melbourne, May 11: Police have appealed to the public for information surrounding the disappearance of 27-year-old Melbourne delivery van driver, Shiva Chauhan. There has been no progress in tracing Shiva Chauhan, Victoria Police media unit told SAT.
Homicide Squad Missing Persons Unit detectives have been told Mr Chauhan began his delivery route on Thursday night (Friday, May 2) and was last sighted at a bakery on South Park Road, Dandenong South around 12.30am on the same day.
Concerns were raised the next morning when it was discovered his deliveries were not made and he had failed to turn up to an arranged meeting the same afternoon. Mr Chauhan’s delivery van was located on Hutton Road in Keysborough around 3pm on Friday (May 2). Investigators have since been told the van was sighted at that location around 5.40am that day.
An initial search of the area has been conducted, however there have been no sightings of Mr Chauhan.
According to the Indian Consulate in Melbourne, Shiva Chauhan was on a student visa which probably lapsed and he was eager to get it extended but that did not happen.
Detectives are concerned for Mr Chauhan’s welfare and are treating his disappearance as suspicious. He is described as Indian, around 177cm tall, slim build and has dark-coloured straight hair.
Anyone with information about Mr Chauhan’s whereabouts, or who may have seen his delivery van in the Dandenong and Keysborough areas on Friday(May 2) morning, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Information can be provided anonymously.
