Najeeb missing case

Najeeb, an MSc Biotechnology student then aged 27 years went missing under suspicious circumstances on 15th October 2016. It has been alleged that there was an altercation between Najeeb and the students affiliated to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) on 14th October 2016 at a JNU hostel.
