NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Monday allowed the CBI to close the missing case of first year JNU student Najeeb Ahmed, who went missing on October 15, 2016. While additional chief judicial magistrate Jyoti Maheshwari accepted the agency's closure report, it granted liberty to reopen the case if any evidence in the matter came about.
The CBI in October 2018 closed its investigation into the case as the agency's efforts to trace Ahmed, a first year master's student at JNU , yielded no results. The agency filed its closure report before the court in the case after getting permission from the Delhi High Court.
Ahmed went missing from the Mahi-Mandvi hostel of JNU on October 15, 2016, following a scuffle with some students allegedly affiliated to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad the previous night.
Nafees' counsel had previously said it was a "political case" in which the "CBI has succumbed to the pressure of its masters". The case was initially probed by Delhi Police but later transferred to the CBI.
