Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to look into the incident where a well-known anthropologist from the U.K.'s University of Sussex was deported on his arrival at the Thiruvananthapuram airport last week.
Mr. Vijayan, in a letter, termed the deportation of Filippo Osella, Professor of Anthropology and South Asian Studies, University of Sussex, ''distressful'' and urged the Prime Minister to issue directions to prevent a recurrence of such incidents.
Prof. Osella is a well-known anthropologist who has conducted extensive research in many places, including Kerala. He has published research in the areas of social mobility and migration, Mr. Vijayan said.
