Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has requested assistance from the Ministry of External Affairs and Boston Police to locate Sreeja Reddy Koya.
A 23-year-old student from Telangana has been missing in Boston, United States, since November 2, according to reports by Hindustan Times and ANI. Sreeja Reddy Koya, who was pursuing higher education at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Boston, was last seen leaving her residence in the Dorchester neighbourhood.
The student's father, Koyya Yadagiri Reddy, said she went for a walk after returning from college and her mobile phone has remained switched off since then. He stated that she had gone missing after walking approximately 1 km and that her last available location was traced near her room.
The Boston Police issued a missing person alert on November 5, noting she was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. Police said she may have gone to the Carson Beach or Harbor Point areas and are actively working to locate her.
Telangana Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy expressed deep concern over the disappearance on X. He sought urgent intervention from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the Consulate General of India in Boston, and the Boston Police.
Sreeja's parents, Koyya Yadagiri Reddy and Roopa, hail from Shabdullapuram village in the Nalgonda district. The student had travelled to the US approximately one-and-a-half years ago for her studies and was also working part-time.
