His abandoned van turned up on Hutton Road in Keysborough about 3pm. Cold Case and Missing Persons Squad Detective Inspector Jill Dyson, speaking at Flynns Beach, said police would not give up until they knew what had happened to Mr Chauhan.
“We’ve got grave concerns for Shiva’s welfare,” she said. “He hasn’t been seen or heard from by family or by friends and we believe he may have met with foul play.”
Investigators are also looking for a stolen maroon 2006 Toyota they believe may have been used to transport Mr Chauhan from his van to Phillip Island, she said. Det Snr Sgt Buick acknowledged that Shiva (a Hindu by religion) was in love with a young woman of Afghani background (of Islamic background), and a cultural clash maybe one of the reasons behind Shivas mysterious disappearance. He has also acknowledged that Shiva is now deceased and although Police have a good idea of what may have happened, no charges have been laid so far. He also confirmed that this is a case of suspected homicide and robbery is not a likely scenario, since Shiva’s wallet full of money and other valuables were found locked inside his abandoned delivery van.
