Indian woman, 24, vanishes in US days after arriving for arranged marriage

An Indian woman, 24, has gone missing just days after arriving in the US for an arranged marriage, according to New Jersey authorities.

After launching a probe and reviewing nearby CCTV footage, local police found that the woman, identified as Simran Simran, was seen checking her phone and looking around - apparently waiting for someone before she went missing on Wednesday, The New York Post reported.

Investigators were told that Simran, who had arrived in the US from India on June 20, had come to the country for an arranged marriage.

The authorities further noted that Simran didn't appear to be in any distress from what they could make out from the footage.

Investigators said that Simran may not have come to the US for marriage and might have only wanted to travel for free in the country, the New York Post further reported.
