On 19 February 2022 #AnisKhan, a 27 year old former Aliah University student, was found dead outside his home in a village in Howrah near Kolkata. His parents have alleged that he was thrown off the roof of building by four police officers, who had come to search for their son. 
The death triggered a political uproar, with the Student Federation India calling it “murder” and launching a countrywide protest for justice for Anis. Anis, an MBA graduate who had enrolled for a communication course, was a political worker is now known.
It is also known that he was with CPM’s Students’ Federation of India (SFI) for some time and had also worked with the students’ wing of the Congress. In the last election he had campaigned against both BJP and the ruling Trinamool Congress (AITC).
He had also got into a spat with local leaders of the ruling party when he organized a blood donation camp without their blessings. Communist Party of India Marxist CPI(M) gave a protest call against the attack and urged all parties apart from the TMC and the BJP to join protests
Following the call, Students Federation of India #SFI and Democratic Youth Federation of India #DYFI leaders including State SFI Secretary Srijan Bhattacharya and DYFI state president Dhrubojyoti Saha staged a protest in front of Amta Police station.
Apart from this, marches were taken out in Behala, Tollygunge, and Jadavpur of Kolkata. His father remains firm on his demand for a CBI inquiry, asserting that he had no faith in the state’s police.
He turned away emissaries sent by Mamata Banerjee and refused to hand over the mobile phone of his son to the SIT. He would either hand over the phone to the court or to the #CBI . India has become an increasingly toxic political state where ethnic cleansing of minorities has....
...become a center piece of their political debates. Today, it’s time for #UnitedNations to take action against the extremist #India. The world should speak, not for #Muslims but to protect the minorities from a greater #genocide .
