Thirteen days after JNU student Najeeb Ahmed disappeared under mysterious circumstances, his family on Thursday claimed that their son has been 'kidnapped' as he was 'seriously' injured and couldn't have left the campus on his own."My son was kidnapped by those who had attacked him at the hostel premises. I was told that he got seriously injured. How could he leave the campus on his own?" Najeeb's mother Farheen Nafees said during a joint press conference organised by the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) and Najeeb's family at Press Club of India."I can never believe that my son would willingly survive without contacting me," she said, the family have lost faith in JNU administration and the Delhi police as they are spreading 'misconceptions' and not doing anything constructive to trace Najeeb."The administration and the Delhi police are spreading wrong information about my son and trying to shield the assailants,"the inconsolable mother said.The family told that the Vice Chancellor, who hasn't contacted them yet, on Thursday called up the mother of the missing student minutes before she had to address the media. "The VC, who hasn't even spoken a word to extend solidarity with the family, has today called up to speak to our mother. He is afraid of being exposed," Najeeb's sister Sadaf Musharraf said.The JNUSU on Thursday issued a statement asking some questions from the Varsity administration and the Delhi police. The Union alleged them for showing "insensitivity" in handling Najeeb's case so far."The Delhi police should explain why no interrogation has been done yet against the assaulters of Najeeb and why their call logs and messages haven't been examined yet," JNUSU president Mohit Pandey said.On Thursday, JNU administration had issued a 25-point statement giving the chronology of the events. Students claimed that they have 'omitted' the incident of Najeeb be beaten by the ABVP activists.Najeeb Ahmed, a first-year MSc student went missing on October 15 following an altercation with some ABVP activists.
