Abhishek Clifford, who heads the NGO Rescue 108, is believed to be of British origin and claims to be known by many names. Aspiring doctors at the Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI), an autonomous institute under the Karnataka government, could not have seen it coming. Brought to the auditorium for a talk on preventive and social medicine by the CEO of a Mysuru NGO, first-year students instead found themselves being lectured about India’s “baby genocide”, the “sin” of premarital sex, the “evil” of homosexuality, and the “myth” of evolution. Delivering the sermon was Abhishek Clifford, a self-styled anti-trafficking activist who has emerged as a controversial fixture on stages across south India’s science and engineering colleges despite his patently unscientific claims.
