Pakistan released IAF Pilot Abhinandan, when will ABVP release my son? Questions Najeeb's Mother
New Delhi: Amidst escalating tension between India and Pakistan after Pulwama attack Pakistan on Friday March 1, released Indian Air Force Pilot Abhinandan Varthaman. He was captured by Pakistan army on Feb 27 when his Mig 21 was shot down by Pakistan Air Force.
Abhinandan’s release came as a sigh of relief to the citizens of the country who were concerned and desperate for his return. The move also led to deescalate tension between the two neighbors.
Several organisations and political parties celebrated the release of Abhinandan and went on to call it India’s diplomatic victory under Narendra Modi and a result of his tactical strategies.
Fatima Nafis, mother of JNU’s missing student Najeeb, took the occasion to once again raise question over return of her son. Once again reflecting the failure of our judicial system and government to track a student who has been missing for over two years now.
In a tweet, Fatima questioned “Our Soldier Abhinandan has been released by Pakistan. When will ABVP release my son Najeeb?
Here’s her tweet:

When will ABVP release my son Najeeb?#WhereisNajeeb #Abhinandan
In a report published in News 18, she was quoted as saying “What is it stopping the government and other top agencies of our country including CBI and SIT to track my son? I want to know when my son will return. All major issues of the country are being cracked on time, but only the disappearance of my son remains mystery”.
News 18 report also added that Fatima was not well and stressed. She was not in a position to speak in details.
Najeeb Ahmed was a first year M.Sc Biotechnology student at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, India who went missing under suspicious circumstances on 15 October 2016 from his hostel in the university campus. It is alleged that before his disappearance he had a fight with ABVP members. And his mother and other activists suspect role of ABVP behind his disappearance.
The Vasant Kunj Police had filed an FIR for kidnapping and wrongful confinement based on Najeeb's mother Fatima Nafees' complaint on October 15, 2016. Premier investigative agencies in the country such as a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Delhi Police, the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police and now the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have been unable to find any leads into his disappearance. All these agencies have been reprimanded by the Delhi High Court at different points for their shoddy investigation into the case.
