Nithin Raj death: Action council calls Statewide hartal on April 28

Escalating protests over the death of BDS student Nithin Raj at Kannur Dental College in Anjarakandy, the Nithin Raj Action Council has called for a Statewide hartal on April 28, alleging serious lapses in police investigation and seeking a probe under High Court supervision.

The action council, formed by 52 Dalit organisations along with like-minded political groups, announced the agitation at a press conference, accusing the police of serious lapses and lack of progress in the case. It demanded immediate intervention to ensure a fair and impartial investigation.
