24 year old Mayushi Baghat came to the United States in 2016 to pursue a master's degree in electrical engineering. Mayushi stayed with her parents and a friend Rashid Mehmood at an apartment complex located at 35 Vroom Street in Jersey City. A student at the New York Institute of Technology, she planned on moving to California after she graduated as she had already been hired for an engineering position there.

Mayushi was reported as missing by her father, Vikas Bhagat, after she never returned home on May 3, 2019. The police report made by Vikas noted that he last communicated with Mayushi on WhatsApp on May 1 around 3 a.m. In the text message, she stated she was ok and was not returning home until May 3 and that she did not want to be bothered. The message concerned Vikas as he does not believe it was Mayushi who responded on May 1 because “the language does not read like hers.” Mayushi spoke fluent English yet the text messages were written in broken English which is what leads Vikas to suspect that that the response may have been sent by someone who had her cellphone.

While searching for additional sources regarding Mayushi's disappearance, I came across a crime blog (linked below) whose author noted that that they were asked to look into Mayushi's disappearance via an anonymous email. However, the anonymous individual did not respond to any of their questions regarding the case when contacted.

The blogger later received another anonymous email regarding Mayushi's friendship with a certain individual; further questions were similarly met with no response. It appears law enforcement questioned that certain individual at one time as well but no further details were provided. The blogger attempted to contact the same individual as well but received no response. Regarding the reluctance in responding, the blogger assumes "whoever emailed me wants me to look into this...but they don’t want any backlash they might receive as a result."

Mayushi remains missing. Kim Wallace-Scalcione, a communications director in Office of the Mayor of Jersey City, stated the case is an ongoing investigation and that they are in constant contact with the family. If you have any information, please call the Jersey City Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit at 201-547-5427.
