ALBAWABA - Questions have been roaming social media regarding the "unexplained disappearance" of British news TV presenter, radio host and journalist Sangita Myska since April 15, after her interview with an Israeli government spokesperson.

Speculations were triggered as people believed that LBC suspended Sangita Myska. Those speculating think it has something to do with a hard-hitting interview she conducted with a spokesperson of Israel’s government regarding the latest Iranian drone attack on Israel.

In the interview Myska conducted, Israeli government spokesperson Avi Hyman is seen shaking his head as the the journalist puts to him the Iranian case that the attack was in retaliation to an earlier Israeli airstrike on a consulate building in Syria, describing it as an "outrageous framing of the reality". Yahoo News reported.

Myska argued that it was generally reported to be a consular building, that the hit occurred on what was internationally regarded Iranian territory, and that it risked aggravating an "incredibly fragile situation" in the region.

Following the heated interview with Hyman, Myska has not been seen in public, nor made an appearance on TV, which sparked a variety of questions regarding her whereabouts.

One X user questioned: "Just a gentle reminder that @SangitaMyska is still missing from @LBC. Could this exchange have led to her being removed?"

Using the hashtag #WhereisSangitaMyska, X users swarmed the platform with questions demanding to know what happened to the TV presenter.

One user claimed that the LBC is following in Sky News lead in allegedly firing their journalists for hosting "harsh truth" interviews regarding the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza.

"Bella Donita was fired in January from Sky News for suggesting that Israel were committing Ethnic Cleansing in Gaza. Sangita Myska fired in April from LBC for saying that Israel bombed an embassy (they did)" @BladeoftheS said in a post on X.

Some others tried reaching out to the radio station for a comment regarding Myska's disappearance. "This is my letter to @LBC in regards to @SangitaMyska
#WhereisSangitaMyska #SangitaMyska they have a duty to reply within 14 days. Will post there reply. Feel free to use this as a template if anyone else wants to send them an email".

Taking it upon himself to question where Myska is, musician and music teacher Peter Farrugia wrote a song and posted it on social media titled "Have You Seen Her?".
