US$10,000 Reward For Info On Missing Indian On FBI’s ‘Worst Kidnappings’ List

New Delhi: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is offering a reward of up to US$10,000 for information about a 29-year-old female student from India who went missing from New Jersey over four years ago.

Mayushi Bhagat was last seen leaving her apartment in Jersey City on the evening of April 29, 2019, wearing “colourful pyjama pants and a black T-shirt”. Her family reported her missing to police on May 1, 2019.

In July last year, the FBI added Bhagat to its list of “Missing Persons” and sought assistance from the public to help with information about her.

Born in India in July 1994, Bhagat was in the US on a student visa and was studying at the New York Institute of Technology.

According to a statement by the FBI, she speaks English, Hindi and Urdu and detectives say she has friends in South Plainfield, New Jersey.

Bhagat is described as 5’10” with black hair and brown eyes. She came to the United States in 2016 on an F1 student visa.

The FBI has put her ‘Missing Person’ poster on the “Most Wanted” page of its website under the list of “Kidnappings/Missing Persons.”
