Hong Kong police launch appeal for help in search for missing 17-year-old Nepalese girl
She is a Hong Kong permanent identity card holder and lived with her mother in London, but left for Hong Kong mysteriously; records show she is still in the city
Police are making a public appeal to assist in the search for a 17-year-old Nepalese girl who went missing after arriving in Hong Kong from the United Kingdom last week.
Gurung Chitra, who is a Hong Kong permanent identity card holder but lives with her mother in London, arrived at Hong Kong International Airport on the night of November 10, according to police.
Earlier this month, Chitra’s mother reported her daughter missing to the British police.
On November 14, the mother sought the help of Hong Kong police to track down the teenage girl after British authorities discovered she had left the country for Hong Kong.
“The mother reportedly told police that she has a good relationship with her daughter, and she did not know why her daughter came to Hong Kong,” a police source said.
He added immigration records showed the teenage girl had not left the city after she entered Hong Kong.
The source said police had limited information about the girl and would contact her mother and British authorities for more information. Officers are reportedly poring over surveillance footage from the airport and MTR stations in an effort to track down the girl.
