KHAIRPUR: The disappearance of two students of Shah Abdul Latif University (Salu) here on Thursday sparked rumours of yet another case of a free-will marriage in making as one person appeared to be a Hindu girl and the other a Muslim man.

The family members of the girl, a BS third-year student, approached the A-Section police station to lodge her missing report as she did not return home from the university at the routine time. They apprehended that she might have been kidnapped and named the suspected man, who appeared to be her class fellow.

The police raided the suspect’s home to arrest him but came to know that he also did not return from the university by the evening.

The police said they were making all-out efforts to locate both the ‘missing’ persons.
