Narayanan Jaganathan, 77, was last seen leaving his Guernsey Avenue house in
Minto on Wednesday morning, telling relatives he was going for a haircut.

A PENSIONER has vanished in Sydney's southwest after saying he was going
to get his haircut, prompting police to comb the area.
Narayanan Jaganathan, 77, told his relatives he was going for a trim
on Wednesday morning, but disappeared.
The barber didn't see him and other enquiries around his home in Minto
proved fruitless, police say.
"Searches have also been conducted of surrounding bushland but there
was no sign of the man," police said. "It is believed he may have headed
towards the Sydney's CBD."
Police say the disappearance is out of character and Mr Jaganathan,
from Guernsey Avenue, has asthma and is unlikely to have medication.
He is described as being of Indian or Pakistani appearance, 162cm tall
with grey hair.
He was last seen wearing a long-sleeve cream and brown shirt, dark
long pants, brown sandals and a silver watch.
Anyone with information about him is asked to call Crime Stoppers on
