Washington: The safety of Indian students in America has been threatened for some time now. An Indian student originally from Hyderabad, Abdul Mohammad, has gone missing. Mohammad enrolled at the University of Cleveland, Ohio last May.

The family of student Abdul has claimed that they have not spoken to their son since March 7. After he suddenly went missing, the family received a ransom call. The extortionist demanded Rs 1 lakh from the family. The caller told him that his son has been kidnapped. Along with this, he threatened to sell his kidney.

Abdul's father, Mohammad Salim, was threatened by drug dealers based in Cleveland last week. The abductors demanded $1,200, roughly Rs 1 lakh, for his release. After receiving the extortion threat, Abdul's parents informed their relatives in America and they filed a police complaint.
