Missing JNU student: AAP MLA demands lie detector test on V-C

Aam Aadmi Party MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj on Tuesday 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.

Meanwhile, Najeeb’s case is likely to be raised in Parliament by the Opposition, with senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad saying that the matter was not just about a student, or a minority person, but about very humanity.

The Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha said the issue was raised during one of the meetings held on Tuesday ahead of the Winter Session of Parliament starting Wednesday.
