Assam violence fallout: Over 4,000 Northeast people flee Bangalore fearing attacks
CNN-IBN | Bangalore | Aug 16, 2012 at 08:37am IST:
An estimated 4,000 people who hail from the Northeast, but were living in Bangalore, are now rushing to leave the I-T city and return to their home states as a fallout of the recent communal clashes. "Our relatives in the Northeast are calling us back due to security reasons," one of the Northeast students said.
This is because they fear for their safety after many reportedly received anonymous SMSes saying they would be targeted in retaliatory attacks. Many were seen boarding trains out of Bangalore on Wednesday, even after Karnataka's Home Minister R Ashok addressed them on the station's PA system to reassure them of their safety.
Meanwhile, a Tibetan college student was stabbed in Mysore by two people who suspected him to be from the Northeast."
