The Indian High Commissioner to New Zealand is seeking a briefing from Auckland police over the disappearance of an Indian student.
Srikanth Rayadurgam, 23, disappeared on his way to class at the Auckland University of Technology 10 days ago.
His family have accused police of shifting resources off his case to the search for missing toddler Aisling Symes and questioned whether race was a factor.
Mr Rayadurgam's disappearance was being widely reported in India and had prompted the Indian High Commissioner to seek a one-on-one briefing with investigators, TVNZ reported tonight.
His family believe he may have been the victim of foul play.
