Two Northeast Indians allegedly beaten up by locals in Gurgaon

New Delhi: Two days after an alleged attack on a Manipuri student in Bangalore, an FIR has now been registered in Gurgaon after two men from Northeast India were allegedly beaten up by locals. The incident occurred late on Wednesday night.

The victims claim they were beaten up by over seven locals for 3 hours. They have been admitted to a hospital.

Sources say one of the men has received injury to the backbone. According to the victims, the attack was in revenge after a scuffle which took place between a group from Northeast India and locals.

The police say they are probing the issue and have ruled out calling it a racist attack.
