: What appeared to be another lead on missing JNU student Najeeb Ahmed proved to be a false alarm when the person, suspected to be Najeeb, turned out to a vagabond from Maharashtra.
Verification still on
On Tuesday evening, the police received a call that a person resembling Najeeb had been seen near Bijwasan Railway Station in south-west Delhi. The caller, a retired government official, said the man was wearing a shawl and roaming at the station. He said he identified him from the posters of Najeeb that have been put all over.

A police team reached the railway station and took the man to the local police station for questioning. “He told us that he was a native of Maharashtra, but we are still verifying his identity,” said an officer.
