The Consulate General of India in New York is collaborating with local authorities to locate 25-year-old Mohammad Abdul Arfath, an Indian student missing since early March in Cleveland. Arfath, pursuing a Masters in IT, last contacted his family on March 7, and his roommates have filed a missing persons report. His family received a ransom call alleging his kidnapping, prompting them to seek government intervention. This adds to a series of concerning incidents involving the safety of Indian students in the US, including recent deaths and tragic occurrences.
