Police in the Indian city of Bangalore have intensified search for an Emirati teen missing since last Friday.

A senior police official in-charge of the investigation told Emirates 24l7 that they were still hopeful of finding the youngster.

“We have distributed new photograph of the youngster to all television channels and media outlets,” said Inspector Maheshwarappa of Pulikeshi Nagar Police Station in Bangalore.

Nineteen-year-old Khalid Ismail Hamad Al Hosani, a resident of Abu Dhabi, was in Bangalore along with his father for treatment. The boy was undergoing treatment for Epilepsy and went missing on Friday morning.

“They were staying in a serviced apartment in Hutchins Road. We have extensively searched the surrounding areas. In fact we took the father for identifying an unknown body yesterday.  But the dead body was not that of the missing boy,” added Maheshwarappa.

The boy was undergoing treatment at a medical facility in Cooke’s Town in Bangalore.
