This incident follows another troubling case involving an Indian
student overseas just a few months ago. In March, 20-year-old Sudiksha Konanki,
an Indian national and permanent U.S. resident from Chantilly, Virginia, went
missing during a vacation in the Dominican Republic. A student at the
University of Pittsburgh, she was last seen in the early hours of March 6 on
the beach near the Riu Punta Cana Hotel.
Several agencies including the US State Department, the FBI and
the Dominican National Police are still rigorously investigation Konanki’s
disappearance. She reportedly went missing when she was on a vacation with her
college friends while walking along the beach.
Media reports indicate that at the time she was last seen, Konanki
was wearing a brown two-piece swimsuit, large round earrings, a metal anklet on
her right leg, yellow and steel bracelets on her right wrist, and a
multicoloured bracelet on her left wrist.
