As per the police complaint, the man, identified as Rahul Singh, went missing on June 10.

His sister Vaishali, 29, who is pursuing graduation and is unmarried, said her parents were both senior officers in Union Bank of India. Her father died due to pneumonia in January last year and mother succumbed to Covid-19 last month.

Already dealing with the loss of her parents, Vaishali is left all alone since Rahul went missing as there is no other relative around. She has been showing his brother’s photos to people in markets and residential areas, but no one has a clue of his whereabouts. Rahul recently recovered from Covid-19, she said.

Area councillor Kuldeep Kaur Dhanoa said, “It is unfortunate what happened with the family, and we are trying our best to find the man. We have even contacted their maternal uncle, who is in Delhi, to visit the bereaved duo, but he cannot travel right now due to restrictions.”

When asked how they are meeting their daily expenses, Vaishali said, “We are spending money from our parents’ savings and don’t know what will happen in the future. Till last year, our family was the happiest, but now we are two orphans, and my brother is missing.”
