The International Police (Interpol) has issued a Yellow Notice in the case of Sudiksha Konanki, the 20-year old Indian tourist whose whereabouts are unknown. She was last seen when headed for the beach at around 4:15am after partying at the discotheque of the Riu Republica where she was staying.
A Yellow Notice is a global police alert for a missing person. It is published for victims of parental abductions, criminal abductions (kidnappings) or unexplained disappearances.
The Yellow Notice can also be used to help identify a person who is unable to identify himself or herself.
This is a valuable law enforcement tool that can increase the chances of a missing person being located, particularly if there is a possibility that the person might travel, or be taken, abroad.
The procedure is that the police in a member country requests a Yellow Notice via their National Central Bureau and provides information on the case. The Notice is then published by the General Secretariat in our database, which alerts police in all Interpol member countries.
The Yellow Notice gives high, international visibility to cases. Likewise, missing persons are flagged to border officials, making travel difficult and countries can request and share critical information linked to the investigation.
The Dominican Republic has unfolded all resources to resolve the case.
