New Delhi: A 21-year-old French woman allegedly went missing on May 31 in Pushkar, Rajasthan. External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj tweeted out in support after her friends shared details on social media.
Gaelle Chouteau, reportedly travelling alone, reached Pushkar on May 30 and left for Jaipur on June 1. She was last seen leaving in Jaipur when she checked out from her hotel in Pushkar. The French national was supposed to return in two weeks’ time.
The last time she got in touch with anyone was on May 31, after which there has been no activity on her social media accounts or her phone. According to a report in The Indian Express, her ATM card hadn’t been used at all either.
