Meanwhile, Ankit Saklani's brother, suspecting something is wrong, has written a letter to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami demanding a probe into the matter.

The family of a merchant navy sailor has sought the Uttarakhand government's help after he went 'missing' from onboard a ship en route to a port in Turkey.

The wife of Ankit Saklani, Pinky, told ANI that her husband working with a Mumbai-based firm -- Elvis Ship Management -- joined the company on December 1 and has been missing since December 18.

She said that Ankit, 10 days after joining, started sending her 'weird messages' and he wanted to return.
