Missing JNU student Najeeb's mother moves HC

November 25, 2016 18:25

The disappearance of Jawaharlal Nehru University student Najeeb Ahmed, whose whereabouts are not known since October 15, today reached the Delhi high court where his mother sought directions to the police and the government to produce him before the court.

Ahmed, 27, a student of School of Biotechnology at Jawaharlal Nehru University and a native of Badaun in Uttar Pradesh, went missing on October 15 following an on-campus scuffle allegedly with members of Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad the night before.

The petition came up before a bench of justices G S Sistani and Vinod Goel which issued notice to the Delhi government and the police asking them to explain their stand on the plea by the student's mother, Fatima Nafees.

The bench also directed Delhi Police to file a status report within three days.

Najeeb's mother, in her petition filed through advocate Ali Qambar Zaidi, sought the setting up of a "court appointed special investigation team of impartial officers of proven integrity from outside the state of Delhi" to take over the entire investigation from Crime Branch of Delhi Police.

Earlier, an SIT of Delhi Police was set up to trace the missing student on instructions of Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
