Brilliant Teen Krishank Vanishes from Melbourne – New Clues in Sydney

 Brilliant Teen Krishank Vanishes from Melbourne – New Clues in Sydney

A 16-year-old high school student, Krishank Karthik, has gone missing from his Melbourne home, sparking a search that has now extended to Sydney. Krishank, described by his family as a “brilliant” student, was last seen leaving his Truganina home to go to school but never arrived. Security footage shows him purchasing items in Melbourne before heading to Sydney, where he was spotted in Surry Hills. His distressed family, baffled by his sudden disappearance, is pleading for his safe return. Anyone with information is urged to contact Werribee Police.

Krishank Karthik, a Year 11 student from Suzanne Cory High School, left his Truganina home on a regular Monday morning but did not return. The young student, known for his academic excellence, appeared to be following his usual routine, but what happened next has left his family and friends in shock.

Krishank’s journey was carefully planned. He was last seen carrying extra clothes, a backpack, and a suitcase, leading his loved ones to believe that this was not an impulsive decision. His movements, tracked through his Myki card and CCTV footage, show him making several stops in Melbourne, including buying donuts and withdrawing money. The final clue in Melbourne came when he sold his iPhone 14 Pro at a mobile store on Swanston Street.

The search for Krishank intensified when new evidence suggested he had travelled to Sydney. Victoria Police reported that Krishank was last seen at an emergency accommodation building in Surry Hills early in the morning. He was dressed in a grey hoodie, black tracksuit pants, and black shoes, fitting the description given by his family.

Krishank’s mother, Shobana Karthik, and other family members are desperate for his return. Shobana, in a heartfelt plea, said, “Please my dear child, come back, bubba.” The family, bewildered by his disappearance, struggles to understand why the brilliant student would leave home without a word.

Krishank’s absence has also raised questions about his recent conduct. Despite leaving home for school daily, he hadn’t attended classes for two weeks. He had cleverly logged into the school’s system, marking himself absent as if on holiday, a detail that has left his family even more mystified.

As the search continues, the Indian-Australian community in Melbourne and Sydney is rallying to support the Karthik family. Social media has been flooded with appeals for information, and community leaders are urging anyone who may have seen Krishank to come forward. The police are continuing their investigation, and anyone with information is asked to contact Werribee Police Station. Krishank’s disappearance has shaken not just his family but the wider community. The hope remains that he will be found safe and brought back home to those who love him.
