NEW DELHI: Scores of students along with mother of Jawaharlal Nehru University student Najeed Ahmed who went missing one year ago continue sitting on protest at the CBI headquarters in New Delhi on Saturday.

The protestors have been demanding answers from the agency over the status of the case. 

“The CBI has not been able to make progress in the case, I appeal to all those who have been supporting me in the case to come out in huge numbers and join me at this protest. I plan to stay all night” said Nafisa Ahmed mother of PhD student who went missing one year ago from the JNU campus on October 15th last year.    

The protesters said they would continue their agitation over the weekend if CBI officers did not meet them. The reward for information about Najeeb’s whereabouts has been increased by police from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 10 lakh. No one has come forward with any information on Najeeb so far. Within days of taking over the probe last year, the CBI declared a separate reward of Rs 10 lakh.
