Last month, the Consulate said that it was working with local law enforcement authorities to locate the Indian student.
A 25-year-old Indian student missing since March was found dead in Cleveland, US, the second death within a week in the country. Abdul Arfath, hailing from Nacharam, Hyderabad, arrived in Cleveland last May for a Masters in IT. Upon being informed he was missing, his father claimed he got a ransom call from his son’s “kidnapper”. Nothing was, however, proven.
