KOLKATA: A Polish postgraduate student of Jadavpur University’s (JU’s) comparative literature department has been served a notice by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) to leave India within a fortnight for his alleged participation in an anti-CAA/NRC rally in central Kolkata on December 19. This is the second such order issued by the Kolkata FRRO in recent days.

JU sources said the notice was issued to Kamil Siedcynski on February 22. Kamil has been told that his con-duct was “inappropriate for a foreign national staying in India on a student visa”.

A concerned Kamil has informed the embassy of Poland and appealed to the FRRO to reconsider the notice, saying that he had merely gone to click photographs, which “should not be construed as participating in the rally”. He has appealed that he be allowed to stay in India till July to complete his coursework. He was otherwise scheduled to leave India in August.

The first such order by the Kolkata FRRO was issued on February 14 to a Bangladeshi undergraduate student of Visva-Bharati University after the student, Afsara Anika Meem , posted photographs of an anti-CAA pro-test on social media.
