Delhi High Court Rejects Plea in Najeeb Ahmed Case
A student named Najeeb Ahmed went missing from his university hostel in 2016 after a fight with some other students.
The police investigated but couldn't find him.
The court said the case is closed, but Najeeb's mom asked the court to look again.
The court said no, but told the police to try to get information from the phones of the students involved in the fight.
The university says Najeeb started the fight, but some people think the other students did something wrong.
Najeeb's mom is still looking for answers.
Delhi High Court rejected the plea of Najeeb Ahmed's mother against the CBI's closure report.
Najeeb went missing in 2016 after a scuffle with ABVP activists at JNU.
The court directed the CBI to extract data from the mobile phones of the ABVP supporters.
The local court had accepted the CBI's closure report in June.
Najeeb's mother argued that the CBI could use digital forensic tools to retrieve data from the suspects' phones.
