52-year-old Joga Dhillon has been missing for one week, and his family are extremely worried about him.

“We want my papa to know that we love him and miss him and just want him to come home safe,” said Dhillon’s daughter, Gurneer.

Dhillon was last seen on Tuesday, April 16, leaving his home in the 700-block of East 56th Avenue at about 8 p.m.

Police say Dhillon has never left home in the past for this long without being in contact with family or friends. Police and family members are also concerned about a medical condition and his recent behaviour.

Police have been looking around his home, and checking public transit, other Metro Vancouver police agencies, taxi companies, and local hospitals, but Dhillon has not been seen anywhere.

On Saturday, about 40 of his friends and family searched the neighbourhoods, but failed to turn up any sign of him.
