The BJP MP revealed in the House that elopement appeared pre-planned and well executed where one Nadeem arranged passport and visa for the Meerut girl.

While the victim's parent met the MP and later the matter was brought into the notice of SSP Meerut, the girl went missing.

The BJP leader requested Speaker Om Birla to initiate an enquiry with an objective to trace the girl. The incident of elopement has caused widespread concern in the area.

A senior police officer of Meerut told IANS that efforts were made to trace the girl but by the time she ran away from home.
