The Jawaharlal Nehru Students Union (JNUSU) today promised "full cooperation" to police search on the campus to trace MSc student Najeeb Ahmed who went missing two months back after a scuffle allegedly with ABVP affiliated students.
"JNUSU will extend its full cooperation in finding Najeeb. Delhi High Court's direction to the Delhi police to search the university campus accommodation, ad-block, and the green areas using sniffer dogs, has long been a demand of JNUSU," president of the students union Mohit Pandey said in a statement.
The Delhi High Court today directed the police to "scan" the entire campus, including hostels, classrooms and rooftops, of the varsity by using sniffer dogs.
The court also asked Delhi Police to take all necessary steps without further loss of time to trace Najeeb, saying there has been delay in recording statements of some students suspected of thrashing him a day before his disappearance.
Pandey said that, the Delhi police should have done this right in the beginning when they could not find Najeeb.
"JNUSU has been pointing out this lapse on the part of Delhi police even in its submission to the petition in the Court. We appeal to everyone to please cooperate with the High Court directions and in our struggle to find Najeeb" he said.
Najeeb disappeared after scuffle with alleged ABVP students at his hostel.
