No leads yet in missing JNU student’s case, CBI tells HC
New Delhi : The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday filed a status report in the Delhi High Court, stating that it has not found any evidence to date in the missing Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student Najeeb Ahmed’s case.
The CBI counsel told a bench of Justice S. Muralidhar and Justice I.S. Mehta that while analysing an exhaustive data, which was still in progress, the probe agency had not found any concrete leads with respect to missing student.
The CBI told the court that it was going to send three phones to forensic lab in Hyderabad.
The court directed the lab to examine the phones and give a report to the agency within one month and listed the matter for July 12 for further hearing.
The court has been hearing a habeas corpus plea filed by Fatima Nafees, Ahmed’s mother, that her son be produced by the police and the Delhi government before the court.
Ahmed, 27, an MSc First Year student, went missing on October 15, 2016 after a fight allegedly with the members of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad. But the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-affiliated student body has denied any involvement.
