Police investigating the disappearance of a man in Hampshire more than one month ago are concerned "something terrible" has happened to him.

Kiran Pun, 36, from Amesbury, was last captured by CCTV leaving a bus in Aldershot, Hampshire, at around 7:30pm on 1 December 2022.

He has not been seen or heard from since, and police have been piecing together his movements that night.

Officers investigating his disappearance have now identified a further sighting in Aldershot.

Having travelled to Farnborough by train, Kiran then took the bus to Aldershot on Thursday 1 December.

Police have revealed that after arriving in the town just after 7.30pm, the 36-year-old walked from the railway station - where he had got off the number 1 bus - along East Station Road at 7.38pm.

From there, he is likely to have walked south through Manor Park, towards the High Street or in the direction of Manor Walk, police says.

Last known sighting of Kiran Pun on East Station Road was just before 7.40pm on 1 December

The Detective Chief Inspector leading the case says the police is concerned "something terrible has happened" to Kiran, and has urged anyone with information or footage of the area that may assist their investigation to contact them.

DCI Adam Edwards, from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary's Major Crime Department, said:

"Having walked south from the railway station along East Station Road, we have evidence of him between the junctions for St George's Road and St Michael's Road.

"Kiran is likely to have walked in one of three directions from here; South through Manor Park, north east towards the High Street or south west in the direction of Manor Walk.

"We have real concerns that something terrible has happened to Kiran, and we need the support of the people to help establish what has happened and where he is now.

Since his disappearance, five people have been arrested on suspicion of murder although a body has not been found.

DCI Adam Edwards added:

"The considerable upset his disappearance has caused his family and his friends is difficult to convey, and we are doing all we can to try and provide them the answers they are seeking.

"If there is any chance whatsoever that you have footage from this area, then please can we ask you take a look and save this before getting in touch with us urgently.

"I cannot overstate how significant this could be for our investigation.

"If you have information, please share it with us. We are listening."

Kiran is described as being approximately 5ft 8 – 5ft 9ins tall, with black short hair, brown eyes and a slim face. He has a scar on his chin.

He has links to Aldershot, Farnborough, Basingstoke and Andover.
