NSUI cites September suspension letter to disown office-bearer Anas Khan; his Instagram page reveals continued association with the student wing, participation in October march

Anas Khan, an office-bearer of the National Students Union of India (NSUI) at Delhi University’s Ramanujan College, recently sparked a major controversy after he was caught persuading young female students to travel to Ahmedabad as companions for older NRI men attending a Diljit Dosanjh concert, promising them money, gifts and other incentives. NSUI is the student wing of the Indian National Congress.

Afterwards, the NSUI issued a letter dated 12th September, claiming that he had already been suspended for participating in “anti-party activities” to save face. However, on 1st October, he shared a video in collaboration with the Instagram page of the NSUI unit at Ramanujan College, showing him marching for “women’s rights.” Interestingly, both this NSUI unit and Khan have deleted their Instagram handles.

Furthermore, Khan has also been suspended from Ramanujan College till 1st February. He is also prohibited by the college from engaging in regular extracurricular and academic activities during this period but has been allowed to take scheduled university exams because he is a third-year student. He is also required to provide the institution with a written undertaking that acknowledges the gravity of the act and guarantees that such unacceptable deeds or indiscipline won’t happen again.

Social media platforms, particularly X, have been flooded with screenshots of Khan’s messages originating from a WhatsApp group of freshers. According to the screenshots circulating online, he posted a disturbing recruitment message seeking “good-looking” girls with a “pleasing personality” and “good physique” for the aforementioned VIP concert experience involving NRI clients.

The screenshots also show members of the WhatsApp group objecting to the arrangement. One member described it as a “human trafficking scam” and urged the group administrator to remove the person immediately.

The offer detailed in the leaked messages included flights from Delhi to Ahmedabad, VIP access to the event, Presidential Gallery or Presidential Lounge access, and cash payments ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹30,000, depending on the “profile” and “vibes” of the girls. The matter became even more alarming considering the group included freshers aged 17-18, while references to physical appearance, being open-minded, and surprise gifts made the situation deeply concerning.
