On October 15, 2016, Najeeb Ahmed was spotted getting into an autorickshaw on the campus, allegedly after a scuffle at his hostel with activists from the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s students’ wing. The JNU student has been missing since, and more than a year later, authorities have yet to find him.
In November, the Patiala House Court dismissed the CBI’s plea to conduct lie-detector tests on nine students of Jawaharlal Nehru University, who are suspected to be connected with Ahmed’s disappearance.
