The '''protest against the death of Anish Khan''', also known as the '''justice for Anish Khan protest''', began on 18 February 2022 after the death of [[Students' Federation of India]] activist Anish Khan. SFI, [[All India Students' Federation|AISF]] and other organizations organised protests, including rallies, [[Human chain (politics)|human chains]] and demonstrations.

The protests began in [[Jadavpur]] and [[Park Circus]], initiated by students at [[Aliah University]], led by Md Irfan, Habibulla, Sajidur Rahman, Mirajul Islam. Irfan Sadique stated that Anish Khan had repeatedly lodged serious complaints regarding threats from local TMCP leaders and police, but no security measures were provided. Within six months, Anish Khan was killed inside his residence at night. According to reports, police did not arrest the alleged main culprits. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) later stated that Khan had died after slipping from a pipe, a conclusion that was rejected by his family members and protesters; day after day protest rapidly spread across the state of [[West Bengal]] and throughout [[India]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://kolkatatv.org/district-news/anish-khan-mystery-over-anish-khan-murder-case/|title=Anish Khan: আমতায় মেধাবী ছাত্র আনিস খুনে বাড়ছে রহস্য, অধরা বহু প্রশ্ন|date=19 February 2022|website=Kolkata TV}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thequint.com/news/india/the-case-of-west-bengal-student-activist-anish-khans-death |title=Who Was Anish Khan, the Youth Whose Death Has Sparked Protests in Kolkata? |date=February 24, 2022 |website=www.thequint.com |access-date=14 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220223073731/https://www.thequint.com/news/india/the-case-of-west-bengal-student-activist-anish-khans-death |archive-date=23 February 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Mondal |first1=Rittick |title=Who was Anish Khan, the student leader whose death has brought Bengal to the streets |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/anish-khan-student-leader-death-west-bengal-protests-1917308-2022-02-24 |access-date=14 February 2023 |work=[[India Today]] |date=24 February 2022}}</ref>
