Krishank Karthik, a 16-year-old boy from Werribee, has gone missing, sparking an urgent appeal from his family and the police. Standing at 5’10”, Krishank was last seen dressed in a grey hoodie, black track pants, black shoes, and black Armani glasses. He left for school at 7:46 a.m. yesterday but has not been heard from since.
It is believed he may have travelled to the North Melbourne area. This disappearance is highly uncharacteristic, raising significant concerns for his wellbeing among his family and authorities. Victoria Police are actively seeking information and have urged anyone who might know his whereabouts to step forward.
In a heartfelt plea, Shobana Karthik, Krishank’s mother, expressed her desperation: “Krish, come back home, baba. We want you to be safe; please come back, my baby. You know we can’t live without you. You are our lifeline. This house will come to a standstill without you.” Her words underline the gravity of the situation and the emotional toll on the family.
The search for Krishank continues with increased efforts from the authorities. His sudden disappearance has caused a wave of concern, making public assistance crucial in this critical time. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Werribee Police Station at (03) 9742 9444 or reach out to the family directly on 0432 726 428, 0431 697 720, or 0451 280 658.

We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability.
