Panaji, Aug 20 - The police here are on the lookout for former supermodel Ujjwala Raut's estranged husband, a British national, who disappeared after a deportation notice was served on him earlier this month.

Superintendent of Police (Foreigners Branch) Tony Fernandes Thursday said that Craig Maxwell Sterry was illegally staying on somewhere in India and the police were searching for him.

'He is wanted. We have served him a deportation notice and he is illegally staying in India. We suspect that he is in Goa as he resides and works here. Sterry has stated that he works for Polypro (Fibris) India Limited. But the offices are locked,' he told reporters here.

Sterry, who is contesting a divorce with Raut, had last appeared before the Foreigners Regsitration Office in Panaji, to submit his Person of Indian Origin (PIO) card Aug 10.
