The student, who is 25 years old and was pursuing a master’s degree in Information Technology at Cleveland University, Ohio, has not been in touch with his family since March 7.
Although his relative in the US has filed a complaint with the police and a lookout notice has been issued, no progress in his whereabouts has been achieved.
Following the complaint, Saleem, who resides in Nacharam, received a ransom call for USD 1200. However, the caller did not specify the mode of payment.
