African Student Stripped And Beaten By Indian Mob After They Mistake Her For Hit-And-Run Driver

A 21-year-old female student was beaten and stripped by an angry bomb in the southern Indian city of Bangalore because they mistook her car for one that ran over and killed a villager.

Police stood by and watched as the mob paraded the Tanzanian woman naked around the streets and set the car she was in on fire, local reports claim.

                           

A bystander who tried to help her was also reported to have been beaten and when she tried to escape on a bus, the passengers are said to have thrown her back to the mob.


The Tanzanian girl is reported to have gone to the police to report the attack but they said they would only take the complaint if she could bring in the driver who hit the villager.

The Tanzanian Embassy demanded a detailed report on the incident from student leaders so they can pursue the issue diplomatically.
