Police concerned for missing Indian woman's safety

Nikita Bhai left her home without shoes.

Auckland police are concerned for the safety of a 22-year-old Indian woman last seen on Friday afternoon.

Nikita Bhai of Sandringham Rd, Mt Roskill, left home after an argument with her brother at 1.30pm.

She was barefoot and wearing an old pink round-necked tee shirt and blue cargo pants.

Sergeant Matt Srhoj of the Avondale Police said police were concerned that Ms Bhai was poorly clad for the cold conditions of the last few days

But he added: "Further to that, Nikita is a sickness beneficiary but left the house without any medication."

"The family tells us she's not a particularly social young woman and that she spends most of her time at home. She has no money with her and we're told her disappearance is definitely out of character."

Nikita Bhai is described as Indian, standing about 163cm tall, she has black hair with some blonde streaks, is of solid build, has brown eyes and a large mole on her upper lip.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts should contact Sergeant Matt Srhoj at the Avondale Police on 09 820 5701.
