The Central Bureau of Investigation has finally closed the case of missing JNU student Najeeb Ahmad as the agency’s efforts to trace him have yielded no results, officials said Monday. The agency has submitted his report in Patiala House court recently after getting permission of the Delhi High Court, they said. The court is likely to hear the matter on November 29, they said.
While taking permission of the Delhi High Court to close the case, the agency which began their probe in May last year had said all aspects were looked into but it could not find any trace of an offence.
