Najeeb Ahmed, gone missing 1.5 years ago, still not found
In October'16, M.Sc student Najeeb Ahmed had gone missing from JNU's Mahi-Mandvi hostel, a day after a scuffle with other students allegedly affiliated to ABVP. There is no confirmation of his whereabouts yet. A 20-year-old had been arrested for kidnapping Ahmed and making ransom calls, but the probe didn't offer anything conclusive. The CBI is now investigating the case.
