As many as USD 10,000 is being offered for information about a 29-year-old female student from India who went missing from the US state of New Jersey in April 2019.
In a statement, the FBI Newark Field Office said Mayushi Bhagat was last seen leaving her apartment in Jersey City over four years ago, wearing colourful pyjama pants and a black T-shirt. Her family reported her missing to police on May 1, 2019.
“Anyone with information about Mayushi, her whereabouts or disappearance, is asked to call the FBI Newark at 973-792-3000, or the Jersey City Police Department at 855-JCP-TIPS (527-8477). They could receive a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to her location or recovery,” the news release on December 14 read.
The FBI and Jersey City Police are seeking the public’s help in solving Bhagat’s disappearance. The FBI is offering a reward of up to USD 10,000 for information leading to her location or recovery. 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.
The FBI said that anyone with information about Bhagat, her whereabouts or her disappearance, should call FBI Newark or the Jersey City Police Department. They could receive a reward of up to USD 10,000 for information leading to her location or recovery, the statement issued last week said.
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 Bhagat’s Missing Person poster on the Most Wanted page of its website under the list of “Kidnappings/Missing Persons.”
