The social media post of the FBI on a reward of up to $10,000 for any information leading to the 'recovery' of Mayushi Bhagat sparked confusion as the Indian student has been missing since 2019. And the reward amount is also not new but the same that the agency announced earlier. There is no update on the case and the agency posted the same old information about Bhagat that she was last seen in the evening hours of April 29, 2019, leaving her apartment in New Jersey. "She was last seen wearing colorful pajama pants and a black t-shirt. Bhagat was reported missing by her family on May 1, 2019. She was attending the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) in New York City, and was in the United States on an F1 Student Visa," the FBI said.
According to reports from the time when Mayushi went missing, her father, Vikas Bhagat, reported the missing case after she did not return home on May 3, 2019. Vikas told the cops that he had his last WhatsApp chat with Mayushi on May 1 around 3 am where she said she was fine but she won't be returning home until May 3. The language of the message raised suspicion as Vikas told the cops that the message was written in broken English but Mayushi was fluent in English. He suspected that the message was sent by someone who had her cellphone at that time.
