A Indian national working in Mauritius has been reported missing since September 27. Dharmendra Bisht, a resident of Patel Nagar in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, was last seen playing cricket in the morning and later left with four men. His family, who have been in the dark about his whereabouts since then, are seeking the intervention of the Indian authorities to expedite the search efforts in Mauritius.

According to his family, Bisht was working as a manager in a Thai restaurant in Mauritius. They claim that he had not informed them about any plans to take leave, contradicting reports that he had gone on vacation. The family was informed of his disappearance on September 28. Bisht's phone and some of his clothes were later found in the possession of one of the men he was with.

The family of the missing person has made an appeal to the Indian government for assistance. Hema Rautela, Bisht's sister, has sought the intervention of the Uttarakhand and central governments. The family has also informed the local police about his disappearance. They are requesting the Indian Ministry of External Affairs to coordinate with the Mauritian administration and police to speed up the search.

The Indian media outlet India Today reported that the family had made allegations about the involvement of four men in Bisht's disappearance, but these claims have not been independently verified. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear. The Mauritian authorities have not made any official statements about the case or the possible involvement of the individuals mentioned by the family.

The Indian government has been urged to take up the matter with the Mauritian authorities. The office of Indian Minister of State Ajay Tamta has reportedly sought intervention through diplomatic channels to ensure that the Mauritian authorities investigate the case. The family is anxious to get any information about Bisht's whereabouts and is counting on the authorities to help.

As the search for Bisht continues, his family is anxiously waiting for any news. They are relying on the Indian and Mauritian authorities to work together to find him. The case highlights the need for greater coordination between countries in such situations.

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of Indian nationals working abroad. The Indian government has been urged to take steps to ensure their safety and well-being.
