Sascha Wil­son

With more than a week since he was last seen, rel­a­tives of 68-year-old Har­riper­sad Mungroo are seek­ing the pub­lic's help to find him.

Fond­ly known as Sug­ars, the grand­fa­ther left his home at Jon­estown, Ben Lomond Vil­lage, Williamsville for San Fer­nan­do on Sep­tem­ber 13.

He would usu­al­ly take pub­lic trans­porta­tion, his niece Melis­sa Man­groo said.

He was dressed in long kha­ki pants and a black a white shirt.

Melis­sa told Guardian Me­dia that her un­cle lives with his wife and one of his daugh­ters.

He has four chil­dren.

She said he suf­fers from di­a­betes and was not well.

It is be­lieved that he was go­ing to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal.

How­ev­er, he failed to re­turn home.

A re­port was made at the po­lice sta­tion the fol­low­ing morn­ing.

"We knew some­thing was wrong. It is not like him not to re­turn home," she lament­ed.

She said no one saw where he went af­ter he left home or whether he got in­to a taxi.

"Every­body who knows him is look­ing out for him right now and no­body has any luck," she added.

Melis­sa said they al­so searched "every inch" of the hos­pi­tal but there was no trace of him.

Melis­sa had a sim­i­lar in­ci­dent with his broth­er who is her fa­ther. He went miss­ing for about two days and was even­tu­al­ly found a few streets away sit­ting on the side of the road un­aware of his sur­round­ings.

"He (Mungroo) is in his right mind but I don't know if he just trip be­cause I know when you have sick­ness and is on med­ica­tion a lot of times their brain just stop func­tion­ing prop­er­ly."

Ap­peal­ing to any­one who may have seen him or knows where he might be to con­tact his fam­i­ly or the po­lice, she said, "Every­body is wor­ried. We don't want to think any­thing bad. We just stay­ing pos­i­tive."

She can be con­tact­ed through her Face­book page Melis­sa M Plaza or 330-2022.

Any­one with in­for­ma­tion can al­so con­tact the po­lice at 555, 800-TIPS, 999 or through the TTPS App or Web­site.
