A native of Attur taluk in Salem and a graduate from the Salem College of Engineering and Technology, she was hired during campus recruitment.
She joined TCS in Siruseri last February.

Her mobile phone also was unreachable. Her father approached the Kelambakkam police station to help trace his daughter,” said an investigating officer.
