Danbury police seek missing WestConn student

DANBURY -- Police are investigating the disappearance of a 24-year-old Western Connecticut State University commuter student reported missing by his family last week.

Ihtzaz Z. Ahmed, of Town Hill Avenue, was reportedly last seen late the evening of May 10 and left behind most of his personal items, including his wallet, keys, car, laptop computer, cell phone and university identification.

He was reported missing early Friday morning, Danbury police said.

WestConn police, who were assisting in the investigation, said they searched the area around the school's westside campus, off Lake Avenue Extension, but found no trace of Ahmed.

Ahmed's sister, Faria Iqbal, said she last saw her brother May 10, and was surprised not to find him at home when she returned from school the next afternoon.

"When he wasn't at school, he was in his room studying," she said. "We are very worried. We just want him home."
