Missing student case: JNUSU stages protest outside police HQ

October 28, 2016 20:58

Students of JNU today staged a protest outside police headquarters alleging inaction to trace a student of the university who has been missing from the campus for two weeks, leading to a massive traffic jam at the ITO crossing.

Najeeb Ahmed (27), a student of School of Biotechnology and a native of Badaun in Uttar Pradesh, went missing on October 15 following an on-campus brawl allegedly with the members of ABVP, BJP's students' wing, the night before.

The agitated members of the Jawaharlal Nehru Students' Union (JNUSU), accompanied by fellow students, staged a demonstration outside PHQ and later, a delegation met Joint Commissioner, South-East Range, RP Upadhyay and submitted a memorandum of demands to him.

"They wanted to know about the status of the investigation and what were we doing for the immediate recovery of Najeeb. We told them it was a high-priority case for us and almost 100 personnel, split into various teams, were working on it.

"The students offered to help us in conducting a search of the jungle which we told them we had already done with the JNU administration officials," Upadhyay said.
