His taxi was found abandoned in Suva City last Tuesday.

41-year-old Arvin Chand was last seen leaving home in his taxi on the morning of Saturday, 2nd November, the day after Diwali.

While speaking to fijivillage News, Chand’s father, Satya Chand says the taxi owner and the police found his taxi in front of the Suva Flea Market at 3pm last Tuesday.

Chand says the taxi doors were open while the keys were on the seat of the vehicle.

The 68-year-old adds that they last spoke to Arvin at 9.30pm on Monday, after which his phone has been diverted.
