In July last year, the FBI added Bhagat to its list of "Missing Persons" and sought assistance from the public to help with information about her.
Born in India in July 1994, Bhagat was in the US on a student visa and was studying at the New York Institute of Technology.
According to a statement by the FBI here, she speaks English, Hindi and Urdu and detectives say she has friends in South Plainfield, New Jersey.
The FBI said that anyone with information about Bhagat, her whereabouts or her disappearance, should call FBI Newark or the Jersey City Police Department.
"They could receive a reward of up to USD 10,000 for information leading to her location or recovery," the statement issued last week said. Bhagat is described as 5'10 with black hair and brown eyes.

The FBI has put Bhagat's 'Missing Person' poster on the 'Most Wanted' page of its website under the list of Kidnappings/Missing Persons.
