Najeeb Ahmed Missing Case: After Nine Years, Delhi Court Allows CBI to Shut Case of JNU Student

  • On June 30, the Rouse Avenue Court accepted the CBI’s closure report, nearly nine years after Najeeb Ahmed went missing, with liberty to reopen if new evidence emerges.
  • Following the 2016 incident, Delhi Police transferred the case to the CBI, which closed its investigation in 2018 after finding no leads despite extensive efforts.
  • During extensive searches, over 500 officers questioned 26 witnesses, but no conclusive link to Najeeb Ahmed’s disappearance was found, despite evidence of assault support.
  • The court expressed regret that closure eludes Najeeb Ahmed’s mother, while public anger among activists reignites over perceived justice failures.
  • The Delhi court allowed the CBI to reopen the case if credible new evidence emerges, maintaining the agency's obligation to inform the court of any such leads.
