Search underway for missing Côte-des-Neiges man

It’s been an agonizing week for Ina Bhowmick.

She hasn’t seen her brother since Wednesday, Sept. 7 and she fears the worst.

“I don’t have a good feeling,” she said. ‘Something is off. I don’t know what it is, but you know that mother’s intuition, sister’s intuition – something’s off.”

Devashis Bhowmick, 35, was last seen at the Côte-Sainte-Catherine metro station Wednesday afternoon.

His sister said he was supposed to get off at the Vendome station, walk a few blocks to the Bureau En Gros on Sherbrooke Street, and then make a quick stop at Esposito grocery store.

But she said, he never showed up at either location.

He’s not the type of person to really go out,” Bhowmick said. “He’s not an extrovert, he’s not very social, he keeps to himself.  He keeps to errands he has to do and always comes home.”

Montreal police confirmed with Global News that they aware of the 35-year-old’s disappearance and that an investigator is working on the case.

In the meantime, Bhowmick’s sister is gathering with friends to organize a search party in hopes of finding him.

“My brother was kind of like my son,” she explained. “He’s significantly younger than me, I helped take care of him growing up – so he’s the closest experience I have of having a son.”

Bhowmick says although she doesn’t know where her brother could have gone, she says he is a huge lover of water.

The Côte-des-Neiges man is approximately 5″8 and weighs roughly 165 pounds.

He was last seen wearing a black baseball cap, a dark coloured shirt and blue jeans.

His sister is pleading that anyone with information call police.
