He hasn’t been heard from since.
National Missing Persons Week runs from 1 to 8 August and brings cases like Mr Chauhan’s back into the spotlight.
The 27-year-old was seen in his delivery van at a bakery on South Park Road, Dandenong South, about 12.30am on Friday 2 May.
The rest of his deliveries were not made, and he didn’t attend an arranged meeting that afternoon.
His van was seen on Hutton Road, Keysborough, about 5.40am and discovered abandoned there at 3pm that day.
His wallet and other personal belongings were inside.
Mr Chauhan is described as Indian and about 177 centimetres tall with a slim build and dark-coloured straight hair.
