Just barely two days ago 10 Manipuri students of Delhi University were attacked by some local goons in the national capital, a 24-year-old girl from Manipur was allegedly molested and beaten by her Director on February 26 in Mahipalpur, south Delhi.

When she went to get a copy of FIR today, Mr Ravi Yadav, SI who received her complaint said he has misplaced her complaint letter.
