Bangladeshi student at Visva-Bharati asked to leave India

Kolkata, Feb 27 A Bangladeshi undergraduate student of Visva-Bharati University has been ordered by the Union Home Ministry to leave India for 'anti-government activities' and visa violation after she allegedly shared some social media posts regarding protests against the Citizenship (Amdendment) Act in the campus last December.

Sources said a notice asking her to leave the country was slapped on Afsara Anika Meem, who is studying Bachelor in Design (B.Des) course at the central university, by the Foreigners' Regional Registration Office (FRRO), Kolkata.

The FRRO, an arm of the Union Home Ministry, asked Meem to leave the country within 15 days of receiving the notice.

It did not, however, give any details of the aanti-India activities" she has participated in.
