Missing JNU student: AAP MLA demands lie detector test on VC

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj today demanded that a lie detector test be conducted on the Vice Chancellor and those accused of assaulting JNU student Najeeb Ahmed who has been missing from the campus for a month.

"The government is claiming that we will become a superpower but when students are going missing from campuses how can we progress? Why Najeeb hasn't been traced yet? Only because the students accused of assaulting him are from ABVP? I demand that a lie detector test be conducted on them," Bhardwaj said while addressing a protest gathering at JNU.

"Vice Chancellor should also undergo brain mapping and lie detector test about why an action was not taken against the said students," he added.

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.

JNU students and teachers have been leading a movement alleging inaction on administration and Delhi Police's part in tracing the missing student.
