Hyderabad IT student Abdul Mohammed missing in US, ransom call received
Abdul Mohammed, a 25-year-old from Hyderabad studying for a Master’s in IT at Cleveland University, has been missing since March 7, 2024. His family has not heard from him since then.
The situation took a worrying turn when Abdul’s father, Mohammed Saleem, received a ransom call demanding $1200 for his son’s release. The caller claimed Abdul had been kidnapped by a drug gang in Cleveland and threatened to sell his kidney if the ransom wasn’t paid.
Concerned about Abdul’s safety, his family filed a missing person report with the Cleveland police on March 18. They have also reached out to the Indian Council in Chicago for assistance.
