New Delhi: Home minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday ordered Delhi Police to set up a special team to trace a missing JNU student even as the agitating students decided to change their mode of protest after keeping the vice-chancellor and some other top officials under siege for over 20 hours. The agitating students, who have been accusing the JNU administra­tion of not doing enough to trace missing student Najeeb Ahmed, said they have decided to change their mode of protest and will no longer confine V-C M. Jagadesh Kumar and other officials of the university. As the students’ protest over the missing student entered the sixth day, the home minister directed the Delhi Police to set up a special team to trace Najeeb who went missing on Saturday following a brawl with a group of ABVP supporters in a JNU hostel. Singh called up the Commission­er of Delhi Police and gave the instructio­n to set up the special team. The students did not allow the V-C and around 12 other officials to come out of the administra­tive building since Wednesday afternoon as part of their protest though mediaperso­ns were allowed to go inside it.
