VANCOUVER – Another South Asian man has gone missing from downtown Vancouver after the previous missing man’s body was discovered in False Creek after he was reported missing last month.
Police are asking for the public’s help to locate a missing 23-year-old Suleiman Khawar, who was last seen May 25 while at Mansion Night Club near West Georgia and Thurlow. At around midnight, he told his family he was on his way home, but he did not show. Suleiman’s family is very concerned for his well-being.
Suleiman is South Asian, 6 feet tall, and has a slim build. He has short black hair and a black beard with a mustache. He was last seen wearing a blue button-down shirt over a white t-shirt, black jeans and black shoes with white soles.
Anyone who saw Suleiman in Vancouver’s downtown core on Thursday night or early Friday morning, or if anyone has information regarding his whereabouts, please contact VPD’s Missing Persons Unit at 604-717-2530 or email vpd.missing@vpd.ca.
Previously, Irshaad Ikbal, a Langley resident, who had been missing since a night out in downtown Vancouver late last month, was found deceased recently.
In a post on social media, Ikbal’s cousin Fouziah Khairati – who had been acting as a spokesperson for the family as it searched for him – shared the news.
“It’s with a heavy heart that we can confirm that Irshaad was found and is no longer with us,” Khairati wrote.
“On behalf of Irshaad’s family, we ask for privacy as we all heal and grieve together. Thank you, everyone, for searching.”
