In a deeply troubling and mysterious case, a 24-year-old Indian woman named Simran has gone missing in the United States, just five days after arriving for what was supposed to be an arranged marriage.
Her disappearance has raised alarms both in the U.S. and India, especially since she has no known relatives in America, doesn’t speak English, and her whereabouts remain unknown.

Simran landed in New Jersey on June 20, reportedly to meet her prospective groom and begin a new life. But instead of a wedding, the trip has taken a dark and unexpected turn.
Authorities are now questioning whether there was ever a real intention to marry at all. Was this a botched wedding plan — or something more calculated?

Investigators are considering the possibility that Simran used the marriage setup as a pretext to enter the U.S., then vanished deliberately.
But with no communication from her end and no family connections to trace in India, the line between voluntary disappearance and foul play is increasingly blurred.

She was last seen near Lindenwold, New Jersey, captured on surveillance footage alone, calmly scrolling on her phone — not appearing distressed, but seemingly waiting for someone. Because her phone only works on WiFi, police have been unable to track her movements.
At the time, she was wearing a white T-shirt, gray sweatpants, black slippers, and diamond earrings. She is described as 5’4” tall, around 68 kg, with a faint scar on her left forehead.
With no leads, no reachable relatives, and no clear origin in India, Detective Joe Tomasetti of the Lindenwold Police Department has appealed to the public for help.
As speculation swirls online, one fact remains — a young woman has vanished in a foreign land, and time is running out to find her.
What began as a hopeful journey toward marriage has now turned into a chilling mystery — one that cuts across questions of immigration, identity, and intent.
