NEW DELHI/BENGALURU: Days after Anas Hussain was killed in his hometown of Nehtaur in northern India during an anti-government protest last month, an online crowdfunding campaign raised 1 million rupees to help his family.

"The idea was to bring more transparency in our democratic lives," said Zaidi, who previously worked in the United States on Democrat Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign, which raised millions of dollars via crowdfunding.Relatives of Hussain say the young waiter was gunned down by police in Uttar Pradesh state while out to buy milk for his infant daughter.

It is the strongest challenge to Modi's rule since he swept to power in 2014. Modi has said the law will not affect anyone who is currently a citizen. "Every single person responsible for this violence...we will seize their property and will take revenge for their actions," Adityanath said in a video statement later."We will seize their assets and auction them to pay for this damage."His top adviser Mrityunjan Kumar said the state government was not aware of the crowdfunding campaigns to help victims.
