JNU student Najeeb’s mom meets CBI

- AGE CORRESPOND­ENT

Fatima Nafees, mother of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student Najeeb Ahmed who has been missing since October 16, 2016, recently met CBI sleuths in connection with the mysterious disappeara­nce of his son. The Delhi high court handed over the case to the CBI after Najeeb’s mother approached it as the Delhi police failed to trace him.

Sources said, “Mother of Najeeb met CBI sleuths probing the case. She is a complainan­t in the case. The agency sleuths also recorded her statement in connection with the case”. Najeeb Ahmed (27), a student of school of biotechnol­ogy and a native of Badaun in Uttar Pradesh, went missing on October 16 following an on-campus scuffle allegedly with the members of some other students’ group.

The high court had transferre­d the case to the CBI after the Delhi police said it has carried out the investigat­ion in a fair manner searching for Ahmad across India, but came up with zero success. The court’s direction came while hearing a habeas corpus plea filed by Ahmad’s mother that her son be produced by the police and the Delhi government

before the court.

According to Fatima, Najeeb had returned to the university after holidays on October 13, 2016. In the night of October 1516, he had called his mother and told her that something wrong has happened to him, Fatima had said in her FIR.

His room partner Kasim had told Fatima that there was a fight and he was injured, she had said. Next day, she took a bus from Bulandhsha­hr to meet Najeeb. When she reached Delhi, she spoke to him and asked him to meet at his hostel, Fatima had said. In her complaint, she had said after reaching his room in Mahi Hostel room 106, there was no trace of Najeeb. Since then there is no trace of Najeeb.
