Police ransacks Najeeb Ahmed ancestral house in Badaun

New Delhi: The investigations into the alleged missing case of JNU student Najeeb Ahmed is getting murkier day by day. On Saturday, the bereaved family of Najeeb was in shock after a team consisting of Delhi police and the local Badaun police carried out a search at Najeeb’s maternal grandfather’s house. To add to the misery, the family was asked to surrender their mobile phones while the teams ransacked their house.

With a new twist in a missing tale, the family and JNU Student Union believe that with nearly three months being passed with no breakthrough in the case, the probing team has turned the tables around and treating them as suspects.

Mujeeb, Najeeb’s brother, said, “The family was fast asleep when the teams barged inside the house to carry out a search for Najeeb. Around 40 policemen broke open the door, came inside, surrounded the family members and started the search. They even took away the mobile phones to check Najeeb’s contact number, noted the IEMI numbers and later ransacked the house. After finishing the search, the team then went to a family friend’s house to carry out the search.”

JNUSU president Mohit Pandey said, “To save criminals and to create chilling effect around elections in UP, this could be another nefarious design of RSS-BJP RAJ.”

Meanwhile, conforming the news of the search, a senior police official said that as informed earlier, search operations are continuing in all possible places and notices are being issued in suitable cases. However, he refuted the charges about ransacking and misbehaviour with the family.
