Sergeant Will Thomson, of Police Paisley Police Station, said: "We are becoming concerned for Harshita’s well-being as it is completely out of character for her not to be in touch with her family.

“She is known to go for walks along nearby cycle paths so we are asking anyone out and about to keep an eye out for her. We are also asking people to check in sheds and out buildings in case she has sought shelter.”

Anyone who may have seen Harshita or who may know where she might be is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3386 of Tuesday, February 22, 2022.
