Police yesterday appealed to the public for information on a Nepalese teenager who went missing immediately after landing in Hong Kong almost two weeks ago.

Gurung Chitra, 17, reportedly disappeared after arriving at HKIA from London on the evening of Thursday, Nov. 10. Her family filed a police report four days later, on Monday, Nov. 14.

The 17-year-old is described as being 157 centimetres tall, weighing around 53 kilograms, and of normal build. She has a long face with a warm complexion and straight, brown hair.

SCMP reports that Chitra lives in London with her mother, but has an HKID. The teen’s mother reportedly told police that she didn’t know why Chitra had suddenly flown to Hong Kong, and that the pair have a good relationship.

According to immigration records, the 17-year-old has not left Hong Kong since she landed.

Anyone who knows Chitra’s whereabouts or may have seen her is urged to contact the Regional Missing Person Unit of New Territories North by calling 3661 3085 or 6273 5787, emailing rmpu-ntn-1@police.gov.hk, or contacting any police station.
