Delhi court approves CBI closure of JNU student's case

India Jun 30, 2025

A Delhi court has allowed the CBI to close its investigation into JNU student Najeeb Ahmed's disappearance—he's been missing since October 15, 2016.
Even after years of searching, no answers turned up.
The judge said the case can be closed for now.

Case can be reopened if new evidence comes to light

The court made it clear: if any solid new evidence comes to light, the case can be reopened.
Najeeb was last seen leaving his hostel after a fight with students linked to a student group.
His family's lawyer called the probe "political" and criticized how it was handled, but for now, things are on hold—unless something big changes.
