Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal must stop politicising the missing JNU student case and wait for the investigation to get over, said the Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday.

BJP leader Zafar Islam told ANI, "They (AAP) will not succeed because these are the issues not to politicize. It is the matter of investigation which Delhi police is doing it and they should not jump the gun unnecessarily to politicize it."

"Wait for the Delhi Police investigation to get over and truth will come out. No need to unnecessarily create hype in the media and create problem for many," he added.

On Thursday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal threatened to join the protest of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students over missing student Najeeb Ahmned.

"They (Delhi Police) don't have courage to go against ABVP. We demand immediate arrest of ABVP members who assaulted Najeeb Ahmed. If students will sit in protest at India Gate then I will also join them," said Kejriwal after attending a solidarity meeting at the JNU campus.

He further alleged that that Delhi Police was defending and protecting Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members who assaulted Najeeb a day before he went missing.

Last month, a student of the School of Biotechnology, Najeeb Ahmed, allegedly went missing following a brawl on the campus the night before.

Till now the police have not been able to find the whereabouts of Najeeb.
