'Apropos' the 'storm'

Did Jorge Heine in his The death of  poet in The Hindu need to start off 'Apropos of' when apropos is a preposition which actually means with respect to? Or Concerning.

Earlier, a headline in the same newspaper need not have used the 'into' - it was Protesters storm into Presidency University, attack students. A mob, whether of the CPM or the TMC variety, just storm.

Comments are invited.
