On March 21, 2017, ToI carried a report on its front page headlined: “Missing JNU student saw IS videos”. The full story was on page three, occupying a meaty chunk of the page. It said that according to Delhi Police, Jawaharlal Nehru University student Najeeb Ahmed, who has been missing since October 14, 2016, had been “looking for information on the so-called Islamic State’s ideology, executions and network in the months preceding his disappearance.” The newspaper also claimed that Delhi Police has received a detailed report of Ahmed’s browsing history from Google and YouTube after analysing his laptop. It revealed that his Google searches included “things such like ways to join IS” and that he had watched videos on YouTube that were “related to the Islamic State”. On the night of October 14, ToI claimed Ahmed had been watching a speech by an IS leader before he got into an altercation with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members. The report claims that police is looking into the possibilities of Ahmed “getting radicalised and being lured away via Nepal.”
