Missing JNU student: Najeeb Ahmed refused treatment at Safdarjung Hospital, CBI tells court
New Delhi, Apr 7 (PTI): The CBI on Monday informed a Delhi court that former JNU student Najeeb Ahmed, who allegedly went missing on October 15, 2016, had refused treatment at Safdarjung Hospital after allegedly being assaulted by a group of students belonging to the ABVP.
The CBI made the submission before additional chief judicial magistrate Jyoti Maheshwari while arguing on its closure report and a protest plea filed against it by Ahmed's mother Fatima Nafees.
The central probe agency said the statements of the hospital's doctor and medical attendant were not taken due to the absence of any such document to show Ahmed's visit.
"Upon visiting the hospital, Ahmed was advised to get an MLC prepared. However, he, accompanied by his friend Md Quasim, went back to the hostel and did not get any MLC prepared," the investigating officer (IO) claimed.
The judge recorded the submission and adjourned the matter for May 9, when the IO was ordered to also appear.
The CBI in October 2018 closed its investigation into the case as the agency's efforts to trace Ahmed, a Master’s student at JNU, yielded no results.
The agency filed its closure report before the court in the case after getting permission from the Delhi High Court.
Ahmed went missing from the Mahi-Mandvi hostel of JNU on October 15, 2016, following a scuffle with some students allegedly affiliated to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) the previous night.
Nafees' counsel had contended before the court that it was a “political case” and that the “CBI has succumbed to the pressure of its masters”.
The case was probed by Delhi Police but later transferred to the CBI.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
