Najeeb Ahmed, a student of Jawaharlal Nehru University, went missing from the campus exactly one year ago, on 16 October, 2016. The Delhi Police handed over the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation, but  no progess has been made so far to trace his whereabouts. Ahmed left the campus after a scuffle with members of the Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
