He has to file a police report. Then apply for a passport and later visa and travel to US.

1. First of all, file the police report that passport / visa are lost. Get the police file no. You will need this to apply to a new passport at Indian Consulate.

2. Contact US embassy or consulate that issued US visa i.e. hyderabad. Provide passport no, name, contact, visa no etc.

3. Apply for a new passport at Indian Consulate.

4. Once he could travel to India, he would need to re-apply for a new visa all over again.

 

I hope he has all copies of all pages of lost passport, visa etc.

Thanks all for the Reply. He lost the passport when he was in india (not in USA). Does he need to take his visa interview again after getting his new passport?

Yes, because he needs a new visa in the new passport.
