UC Berkeley Student of Karnataka Goes Missing in United States

The Consulate General is in touch with both the authorities and the student's parents, and is helping locate the boy. 

In a post on X, the Consulate General wrote, "Consulate General of India in San Francisco is deeply concerned about the disappearance of Saketh Sreenivasaiah, an Indian post-graduate student of UC Berkeley, hailing from



the State of Karnataka. 

The Consulate is in touch with the family and is also in contact with the concerned local authorities to locate the student."

This, however, is not the first such incident. Indian students abroad often complained of alleged discrimination, racist attacks and negligence by authorities. 

In a question raised by MP Asaduddin Owaisi in the Lok Sabha about student safety abroad, the Ministry of External Affairs highlighted its efforts towards keeping Indian students safe.
