26-year-old student from Hyderabad goes missing in US

Mirza Ahmed Ali Baig (26) from Santosh Nagar area of Hyderabad went to the US for further studies after completing his B Tech.

He took admission in American College of Commerce and Technology, New Jersey, USA, in the year 2015.

He was also working out a part-time job at a mobile shop in New York.

Last Friday he called his mother Meraj and told some people were blackmailing him and he was in desperate need to talk to his brother Shujath.

His brother Shujath contacted the mobile store owner where his brother had been working and the information he got was that his brother had abruptly left the store. This was captured in the CCTV footage. He had not even informed anyone in the store that he was leaving. He was working in a shop at 5W 183 St Bronx, 1054, New York. "From what I can understand, my brother faced threats or he was harassed by an extortionist," Shujath said.

Since last Friday Shujath has been calling his brother in the US but his phone has been switched off.
