The 36-year-old Ceule Denise Acosta,learning Mohiniyattam" classical dance at a deemed University of arts and culture at Thrissur in Kerala, was reported missing since April 9.
Her boyfriend Manric, also a Mexican national, had complained that Acosta went missing after she boarded a bus at Krishnankovil near here.
Police said Manric, a P.hd student at Kalasalingam University near Srivilliputhur, was angry with Acosta as she decided to go with her French boyfriend.
