Another JNU student 'goes missing'

A 26-year-old student, pursuing PhD at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) here, has gone missing from the campus, police said.

Mukul Jain, enrolled in Life Sciences course, has been missing since January 8, the police said. A missing report was registered on the same day.

It is suspected that he was having some problems in his relationship, said a senior police officer from the South-west District.

Till now, no foul play has been suspected, they added.

Najeeb Ahmed, a JNU student of M.Sc  Biotechnology, went missing from the Mahi-Mandvi hostel of the university on October 15, 2016 following a scuffle with some other students, allegedly affiliated to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the previous night.

Over a month after the incident, his mother moved the Delhi High Court, seeking directions to the police to trace him.

The court on May 16 last year handed over the investigation  to  CBI.
