JNU student Najeeb Ahmed had gone missing from the campus on October 15.
In a new twist to the missing JNU student Najeeb Ahmed’s case, a report has said that he had looked up for information related to the Islamic State (IS) on the Internet, months before his disappearance.
Najeeb (27), a student of School of Biotechnology and a native of Badaun in Uttar Pradesh, went missing on October 15 following an on-campus scuffle allegedly with the members of ABVP.
According to Times of India, Ahmed looked for information on the ideology, executions, and network of the Islamic State.
The details have come to the fore after police received a report from Google and YouTube of his browsing history.
The report said Ahmed had also searched ways to join IS on Google. "Most of the videos he watched on YouTube were also related to the Islamic State," sources told the daily.
After several twists and turns in the case over a period of five months, the police is now exploring the possibility of him being radicalised and lured away via Nepal.
Meanwhile, Delhi police have refuted the media report saying, they were still analysing the browsing history.
"No final report has been submitted to High Court and investigation so far does not show any links of allegiance he (Najeeb) had with ISIS," said Special Commisioner, Dependra Pathak.
In November, a proctorial enquiry by JNU found ABVP member Vikrant Kumar guilty of assaulting Ahmed during a brawl, following which the latter went missing.
In January, the Delhi Police had arrested a man accused of making a ransom call to Ahmed’s family demanding Rs 20 lakh.
Alleging political vendetta behind his disappearance, TMC's Rajya Sabha member Vivek Gupta on Monday asked the Centre to order a probe by CBI or any other appropriate agency in the matter.
