Najeeb’s mother was reportedly dragged by the Delhi police officials from the protest site. Violent images of the clashes between protesters and police went viral on social media. 

This is the picture that did the rounds on social media:

Here’s a footage of a part of the protests:

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said President Pranab Mukherjee has assured that he will seek a report from the Ministry of Home Affairs and the JNU administration on the missing student.

Talking to reporters after the meeting, he said he apprised Mukherjee of the matter. He also alleged that the Delhi Police did not take any action in the matter due to “political pressure”.

“People who were involved in the brawl with Najeeb were questioned by the police yesterday, 22 days after he went missing. That was also a formality. We have apprised the President of the matter. He has assured us that he will seek a report from the Delhi Police and JNU in this regard,” Kejriwal said.

“Met Hon’ble Prez to seek his intervention on missing JNU student Najeeb. He assured of all support and that he will seek report from MHA n JNU,” he later tweeted.

Kejriwal, who has had frequent run-ins with the Delhi Police, had said it will not dare to pursue any investigation in this regard as RSS’ students’ wing ABVP was involved in the brawl.

The intense situation has led disruption of traffic in the city causing traffic jam across the several parts of Central Delhi, reports ANI.

Najeeb had gone missing on 15 October following a brawl at his hostel on October 14 night.
