Ashraf told the police that he was surprised to see the poster of his ‘disappearance’ while walking in the Jama Masjid area of Delhi. Then he made several calls to his cousin Irshad, who lives in Delhi.
Irshad informed the AMU officials, who informed the Aligarh police about Ashraf’s whereabouts.
His posters, along with Ashraf’s photo, were put up when the police came to know about his withdrawal of Rs 1,000 from an ATM in Ghaziabad.
Ashraf, hailing from Araria district of Bihar, has a BA from AMU. Is studying (Spanish).
Following her disappearance from the university campus on 23 February, the students staged a protest here and demanded action to be taken to locate her.
