The media and culture student from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Urvashi Chudawala, who was booked under sedition charges for sloganeering in support of Sharjeel Imam (he was recently held for sedition), is untraceable. On Tuesday, her mother told the Azad Maidan police that she was being provoked by someone, and even the family is looking for her.

The Azad Maidan police have launched a manhunt after Chudawala, who is also an LGBT activist, did not respond to police summons. "Before registering the FIR we reached out to the TISS management and collected her details as she is a student there for the past one year. We were informed by the management that she has not been coming to the campus for the past two days. We had called her to record her statement and listen to her version, but she didn't respond to calls and after sometime her number was switched off. Later her mother was summoned," a senior police officer told mid-day.
