MELBOURNE - A three-year-old Indian boy, who was holidaying in Melbourne with his parents for the past three months, has gone missing from a relative’s home in Lalor at around 1.10 pm (AEDT) on Thursday.

It is believed his mother was having a shower and the boy, Gurshan Singh, who does not speak English, may have wandered out the front door.

As soon as the parents discovered the boy was missing, boy’s mother, Sim Kaur and another member of the household launched a search nearby to no avail, The Herald Sun reports.

A huge air and ground search units was called in to help find the toddler, described as dark skinned, brown hair and wearing a grey top and blue jeans.

However, the search teams have failed to locate Gurshan, and the police issued a plea for public help to find him.

Parents and police are concerned that there have been no sightings of the boy since he went missing., and fear that he may have been snatched.

“Maybe someone picked him up … whatever. I don’t know,” The Herald Sun quoted Kaur, as saying.

Gurshan was due to fly home to India with his family in the next two weeks. (ANI)
