NEW DELHI: Voicing concern over a Tanzanian woman student being
allegedly beaten up and stripped by a mob in Bengaluru, Congress Vice
President Rahul Gandhi has sought a report from the Karnataka government
on the incident immediately.
"Rahul Gandhi asks Karnataka Govt to explain and send report
immediately," party General Secretary Digvijay Singh said in a series of
tweets.
"Strongly condemn incident with Tanzanian lady in Bangalore. Police
must act strongly against the culprits," Singh, who is in-charge of
party affairs in Karnataka, said.
The Tanzanian woman student was allegedly beaten up and stripped by a
mob in a case of "mistaken identity" after a woman was mowed down by a
car in the city.
The 21-year-old Tanzanian, who is doing her Bachelor of Business
Management course, was dragged out of the car in which she was seated
along with her three friends on Sunday night.
The car was stopped by the mob shortly after they reached the accident
spot on Sunday night, according to All African Students Union in
Bengaluru.
She was stripped by a section of the mob and pushed out of a
slow-moving bus that was passing by as she tried to board it to escape,
the Union's Legal Adviser Bosco Kaweesi had said.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had termed the incident as shameful.
Swaraj had spoken to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and requested him to ensure stringent punishment to the guilty.
Swaraj said Siddaramaiah informed her that a criminal case has been registered and four accused have been arrested.
Official sources in New Delhi had said the High Commission of Tanzania
has sent a Note Verbale to the External Affairs Ministry about the
reported attack, requesting it to take necessary legal action against
the guilty.
According to the Bangalore police, the complaint by the Tanzanian girl
was filed yesterday even though incident happened on Sunday.
