AROUND 10 people from the North-East who live in Pune have been beaten up in separate incidents over the last two days in the upscale Kondhwa and Pune Camp area, sparking fear and panic in the 8,000-strong community.
On Thursday, a Manipuri student had lodged a similar complaint at Cantonment police station. Some complainants have reportedly told police that their attackers asked them if they were from Assam, but had not waited for a reply before assaulting them.
Infosys employee Kahomdai Panmei (29) of Manipur, who lives in Kondhwa, said he was attacked on Wednesday evening. "I had dropped my sister at her residence in Shivneri Nagar, Kondhwa, around 8.30 pm on Wednesday. A few youths suddenly attacked me with iron rods and bamboo sticks... I failed to understand the reason"
Poona College student Premanand Khomdram of Manipur, who was the first to lodge a complaint, told the police that a mob rushed towards him, asked if he was from Assam, but before he could reply, began raining blows.
