The investigating officers met the imam of Fatehpuri Masjid in Chandni Chowk and requested him to make announcements about Najeeb during prayers.
“We asked them to request people to share any clues or information about Najeeb. We have even requested imams of other mosques in Delhi, neighbouring areas and some cities in Uttar Pradesh like Badaun, Bareilly where Najeeb has stayed to make regular announcements,” said a senior police officer.
Police have also requested them to share information about the disappearance with “jamaats” who travel between mosques.
Meanwhile, Najeeb’s family members say they have lost faith in police.
“We are as clueless about Najeeb now, as we were on the first day,” said Najeeb’s brother Mujeeb.
He said the police has done “little” in tracing his brother and has only “harassed” them.
“It is very mysterious that every time the case is coming up for a hearing in the High Court, we get a fake call sharing information about him. The police, very conveniently, says in the court that they are working on the leads gained through the phone call,” he added.
The Delhi High Court, while recently hearing a plea by Najeeb’s mother Fatima Nafees seeking whereabouts of her son, had rapped the Delhi Police over the manner of its probe.
