Delhi Police is in the process of reconstructing the psychological profile of JNU student Najeeb Ahmed, who went missing from the campus over three weeks ago, as its traditional methods of tracing him have failed so far.
"We are doing a meticulous reconstruction of Najeeb's personality and the incident. Our team is analysing his Whatsapp messages, SMSes, his call records and the people he used to interact with to gain an insight on whether he was an introvert or extrovert," said a senior police officer.
Eight special teams have been fanned out to various places where he has stayed and studied before JNU in order to talk to his teachers and friends to know whether he has been in touch with any of them or contacted them, he said.
A special team is also doing technical surveillance of Najeeb's mobile phone and laptop to know about his interests and what he used to read on the internet, police said.
We are also appealing to JNU students to assist us in our efforts in tracing Najeeb and sharing information about him, said Dependra Pathak, Delhi Police spokesperson and Joint Commissioner of Police (Southwest).
Police will also be questioning members of JNUSU including its President Mohit Pandey in connection with this case.
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 the night before.
Najeeb's mother Fatima Nafees and his family members today met Delhi Police Commissioner Alok Kumar Verma and other senior officers, including special commissioners of police (Law & Order) North and South, joint commissioner of police (Southeast), who assured her of all the action in the matter.
After coming out of the meeting, Fatima said, "I have been told that all possible steps are being taken to trace Najeeb. I just want him back."
Police also asked the family members to share with them minutest of details about Najeeb's personality so that he can be traced.
She refused to comment on reports that she was allegedly dragged by Delhi Police officers yesterday and detained.
"I am ready to tolerate more pain than what I went through yesterday just to get my son back," she said.
Najeeb's family members also alleged that the officers didn't talk about yesterday's incident where they were detained en route to India Gate and taken to different police stations.
