JNU student Najeeb Ahmed case: No outcome yet by CBI, says Delhi High Court

 

The Delhi High Court on Monday pulled up the Central Bureau of Investigation for showing disinterest in finding out the student of JNU, Najeeb Ahmed who has been missing from a long time.

“There is complete lack of interest by CBI,” observed the Delhi High Court.

Making a reference in regard to the status report filed by the investigation agency, a bench of Justices G S Sistani and Chander Shekhar observed that there was “no result either ways. No result even on paper”.

The bench made strong remarks after noticing the contradictions in what the CBI had said in court, and what it had indicated in its status report on the issue of analysis of the calls and messages of the suspect students in the case.

It has now been an year since Najeeb Ahmed went missing following a scuffle inside the JNU campus hostel. The Delhi High Court had transferred the investigation from Delhi Police to the CBI in May, after expressing dissapointment over the slow pace of the probe.

The Delhi Court had been consistently questioning CBI into the matter. Earlier in August too the CBI was rebuked by the HC when it failed to file a fresh progress report in the case, saying the probe was not transferred to the agency “for fun”.

Najeeb, 27, M.Sc Biotechnology student, went missing from the Mahi-Mandvi hostel of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on October 15, 2016. A month later, his mother moved the Delhi High Court, seeking directions to the police to trace Najeeb.

Najeeb’s family members alleged that he went missing after an altercation with several students, allegedly affiliated to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
