Darpan News Desk Surrey RCMP, 02 Aug, 2022 04:30 PM

Surrey RCMP need the public's help in locating a 64-year-old man last seen in the Fraser Heights area.

Via release, Mounties say Satpal Lanji was reported missing a few weeks ago on July 19th after last being seen the previous day in the 11300-block of 163 Street.

Although it is not uncommon for Satpal to be out of contact, the length of time that has passed is concerning to family and police.

Surrey RCMP Missing Persons Unit has been following up on all investigative avenues since he was reported missing, but have not been able to locate Satpal, so they are requesting the public’s assistance.

Satpal Lanji, who also goes by Rai and Ray is described as a South Asian male, 5’7", 140 lbs., slim build, short grey hair, and brown eyes.
