The disappearance of Indian students in the US has been causing concern among the community. Last month, 26-year-old Rupesh Chandra Chintakindi went missing in Chicago, and in a tragic incident, 25-year-old Indian student Mohammad Abdul Arfath, who had been missing since March, was found dead in Cleveland.
