New Delhi, Oct 20 (IANS) Delhi Police on Thursday formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case of missing JNU student Najeeb Ahmed.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Nupur Prasad told IANS that the SIT will be headed by Additional DCP Munishi Chandra.
Delhi police had earlier announced a reward of Rs 50,000 for information about Ahmed, five days after he vanished.

A police complaint was filed under section 365 of Indian Penal Code (IPC) for kidnapping or abducting with intent secretly and wrongfully to confine a person, and a proctorial inquiry was also initiated by the varsity.
Meanwhile, carrying photos of Ahmed, JNU students went about in the neighbourhood inquiring about him.
