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.

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

"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.

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

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

The sighting on East Station Road just before 7.40pm is the last known sighting Police have of him before he disappeared.

DCI Edwards added: "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.

"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.

"Thank you to anyone who has shared our appeals so far, or who has come forward with information, your help and support is crucial and is appreciated."
