Police in east London are growing increasingly concerned tonight for the welfare of a 36-year-old man missing from Mile End.

Sandeep Rakhra was last seen at 7pm on Tuesday at his home in Shandy Street, off the Mile End Road, when he left for a weekly exercise class.

Officers are now appealing for the public’s help to find Sandeep as he failed to return and has not been seen since.

He is about 6ft 3ins tall, medium build with dark hair, who at the time of his disappearance was wearing black Adidas tracksuit bottoms with red stripes, a black jacket, navy blue trainers and a grey hat.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is being urged to call 101 or call Missing People on 116 000.
