On November 24, a 21-year-old woman from district Thoubal, Manipur, identified as Brahmacharimayum Jerish Devi, allegedly went missing. As per a post shared by the Facebook page Naga Hills on behalf of Bangalore Manipur Students’ Association (BMSA), the woman came in contact with a person named Mohammad Boboi alias Mohammad Iquebal from Karnataka a few months back.
The missing report suggests that Jerish came in contact with Iquebal via Facebook, who claimed to be an employee at a private company in Bangalore. After a few months of chatting on social media, Iquebal allegedly booked a flight ticket for Jerish so that she could travel to meet him.
