IT has been two months since 29-year-old Lalbachan Bhagwandat known as ‘Jagan’ went missing at Canal Number Two, West Bank Demerara backlands.

According to the man’s relatives, Bhagwandat was being treated for his mental illness, but he was not taking his medication. It is believed that this resulted in Bhagwandat becoming paranoid and believing that someone wanted to kill him.

On April 17, Bhagwandat of Lot 11 North Section, Canal Number Two, along with other family members were next door at a relative’s house when he became paranoid and claimed that someone was going to kill him.

He then ran out of the house and into the backlands; his relatives gave chase but came up empty-handed. The matter was reported to the police after Bhagwandat did not return.
As the search continues, the family has since offered a $100,000 reward for any person who can find Bhagwandat and bring him back home, or make contact with the family at 630-5006 or 676-6588.
