She said that she would speak to her lawyers to explore a future course of action.

Najeeb, a first-year student at Jawaharlal Nehru University, went missing from the Mahi-Mandvi hostel after a scuffle with some students allegedly affiliated with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) the previous night.

“I will talk to my lawyers. But my wait for Najeeb will continue till my last breath. I pray for him every day, and I hope I will get justice one day,” Nafees told the news agency PTI.
