SIT ordered to trace JNU student
IN
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.
