Cops track down missing woman techie in Visakhapatnam

Hyderabad: Bhavya Sri, 26, the techie who went missing from the city on Thursday has been reportedly found safe with a male friend in Visakhapatnam. A special police team has gone there to bring her back. However, the cops have not confirmed the development. She was traced based on clues from her mobile phone call data.

She is expected to reach the city in a day or two. It is also learnt that she had booked train tickets from Secunderabad to Vizag.

Sources said that on Saturday she called her husband Karthik Chaitanya and told him that she was safe and would be returning. However, the reason why she went there remains a big question.
