Bhubaneswar: An Odisha-origin millionaire family based in the United Kingdom has reportedly gone missing in Nepal following the devastating floods that have wreaked havoc in several parts of the Himalayan nation.

The missing family members have been identified as former Miss India UK Surabhi Sahu, her husband, Santosh Sahu, their 18-year-old son, Spandan, and 13-year-old daughter, Saina.

According to reports, the family travelled to Nepal last week as part of a pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar. However, all communication with them has reportedly been lost following the floods, which have severely disrupted normal life and communication networks in several affected areas.

The family's whereabouts remain unknown, with relatives and well-wishers anxiously awaiting information about their safety. Poor mobile connectivity and disruptions to communication networks in the flood-hit areas have reportedly made it difficult to establish contact with them.

The Sahu family is based in London, where it is reportedly engaged in businesses in the information technology and pharmaceutical sectors. The family is said to have roots in Odisha's Ganjam district.

Reports of the family going missing have triggered concern among their relatives and acquaintances in Odisha and the UK. Efforts are likely to be stepped up to trace the family as rescue and relief operations continue in the flood-affected regions of Nepal.

However, there has been no official confirmation so far regarding the family's exact location or current status.

Further details are awaited as authorities and rescue agencies continue efforts to locate people stranded or missing in the flood-hit areas.
