Chief Superintendent Jon Green said: “Our dedicated team of officers have been working around the clock in a bid to trace Naheed and we are extremely grateful to those people who have come forward already.
“All information is relevant to us, no matter how insignificant you think it is. Your information could help us solve Naheed’s disappearance and put an end to the daily torment the family are currently suffering.
“I would particularly like to highlight the information that we have received via Crimestoppers. If you happen to be one of the people who called Crimestoppers, we are keen for you to come forward and speak to us as you could help to solve Naheed’s disappearance."
