NEW DELHI: Police have initiated a probe into a mysterious letter delivered on November 14 at Mahi-Mandvi hostel, Jawaharlal Nehru University. Sources said that the letter was allegedly written by a woman from Aligarh claiming to have information about the missing MSc student, Najeeb Ahmed.
The letter, addressed to Ahmed, was received by hostel president Azeem, who informed Ahmed’s mother Fatima Nafees and handed it over to her. She later gave it to the Crime Branch.
In the letter, the woman had written that she had seen Ahmed at a market in Aligarh. He sought her help saying that he had been locked up somewhere and had managed to escape. By the time she could inform anyone, he had left or was probably taken away by some people. She had also mentioned an address where she could be contacted.
