Berkeley Missing: Indian-origin student from Karnataka vanishes in US
Authorities and the Indian Consulate are searching for Saketh Sreenivasaiah, a UC Berkeley master's student from Karnataka who went missing in the US; officials say he is at risk.
Authorities are seeking public help to locate Saketh Sreenivasaiah, a 22-year-old Indian-origin master's student at UC Berkeley who went missing in the United States earlier this week. The case has drawn attention from the Indian Consulate in San Francisco, which has said it is coordinating with local authorities and is in touch with the family.
Saketh is described as 6'1" tall with short black hair and brown eyes. Last known sightings place him near the UC Berkeley campus, though officials have not released details about his mode of travel or any possible hints about where he might be headed next.
An IIT Madras graduate, Saketh had completed his undergraduate studies in 2025 and was pursuing a master's degree in engineering at Berkeley. His disappearance has prompted police to treat him as an at-risk missing person and to request the public's help in locating him.
Berkeley police say they are actively investigating, reviewing surveillance footage, phone data, and tips from the public. The Indian Consulate in San Francisco has said it is in contact with Saketh's family and with local authorities to assist in the effort and to ensure his safety.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Berkeley Police Department immediately or reach out through the consulate for assistance, as investigators stress the urgency of the case and the need to locate him quickly.
