Police still searching for missing 15-year-old girl

SHAH ALAM - Police are still looking for a 15-year old girl who went missing after school, eight days ago.

Bentong police chief Superintendent Zaiham Mohd Kahar said efforts to locate the whereabouts of the teenager are currently being done based on the information the police obtained so far.

“I hope we can find her and take her back to her family safely. That is our main goal,” he said.

Zaiham urged for those with any information on the girl to come forward to assist the police’s investigation.

P. Pavitra was reported to have disappeared on Feb 10, after she failed to come home from school, that day.

Her father said he received a call from his daughter’s 60-year old school van driver informing him that Pavitra did not get on the van after school.

The girl lives with her 48-year old Aunt in Ketari in Bentong, Pahang, while her parents live in Kuala Lumpur.

Pavitra was last seen at her school at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Ketari.

She was last seen wearing her PE uniform, with a maroon T-shirt and black pants.

The police received a report about her disappearance at about 4.41pm, the same day.

Zaiham is asking for members of the public who have seen Pavitra or have any information on the girl to contact the Bentong police headquarters at 09-2222222 or lodge a report at the nearest police station.
