Will approach SC, says Najeeb’s mom

NEW DELHI: Within hours of the Delhi High Court allowing the CBI to file a closure report in the case of missing JNU student, Najeeb Ahmed, his mother Fatima Nafees said the family would approach the Supreme Court.

“We never had any faith in the CBI, which is why we had requested for a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the case. Why should we accept the closure report of an agency that has done no investigation till date? Have they come up with any concrete leads till date, so why should we accept their closure report,” Nafees said, over the phone.

The woman said she had come to Delhi along with her family and would approach the Supreme Court. “I did not trust the Delhi Police. I do not trust the CBI. They have not probed my son’s disappearance at all. I have faith in the judiciary and will approach the Supreme Court,” the woman said, adding that only a Supreme Court monitored probe by an SIT could find her son.

Since the morning of Ahmed’s disappearance, the case has been probed by three different teams of Delhi Police — local police, special investigation team of south district and the crime branch — and the Central Bureau of Investigation.

The CBI and the Delhi Police have each announced reward of ₹10 lakh for any information on Ahmed.

The high court said it has monitored the CBI investigation up to the stage where the agency was in a position to file a closure report before the concerned trial court.
