Protests over the death of student leader Anish Khan grew louder on Sunday with locals in Amta and student organisations staging a series of protests in different parts of West Bengal.
Supporters of the student and youth wings of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) laid siege to the Amta police station and broke barricades. Later in the day, supporters of the Students Federation of India and the Democratic Youth Federation of India met the family members of the deceased at his residence in Amta block in Howrah district.
Late on Friday evening, four unidentified men broke into the residence of Anish Khan, a student leader in Kolkata’s Aliah University and threw him off the third floor of the house. His father Salem Khan not only alleged police inaction but also said the assailants were dressed in police uniform and pointed a firearm to his head when they attacked and killed his son.
