A 23-year-old student from Telangana, Sreeja Reddy Koya, was reported missing in Boston, United States, after leaving her accommodation for a walk on the night of November 2, 2026. Her disappearance has prompted concern among her family in Nalgonda district and efforts involving local police, Indian officials and members of the Telugu community.
Sreeja was pursuing a master’s degree at the University of Massachusetts Boston. According to reports available on November 12, her whereabouts had not been publicly confirmed.
Student Was Last Seen Leaving Her Accommodation
Sreeja reportedly left her residence in the Edison Green area of Dorchester at approximately 9:45 pm local time on November 2.
She had returned from college before stepping outside for a walk. When she did not come back, her friends became concerned and attempted to contact her. Her mobile phone was reportedly switched off.
The disappearance was subsequently reported to the Boston Police Department. Her last known location was reported to be around the Carson Beach or Harbor Point area.
Family in Telangana Waits for Information
Sreeja belongs to Shabdullapuram village in Kanagal mandal of Telangana’s Nalgonda district. She is the daughter of Koya Yadagiri Reddy and Roopa.
Her family said she had moved to the United States around a year and a half earlier for higher education. After completing her undergraduate studies in Hyderabad, she enrolled in a master’s programme in Finance in Boston and was also working part-time.
The lack of communication since November 2 has caused considerable anxiety for her parents, who have appealed for assistance in locating their daughter.
