Manipuri students attacked after row

NEW DELHI: Three people have been arrested for allegedly assaulting two students from Manipur following an altercation in south Delhi. However, police have clarified that the attack had no connection with the recent threats to people from the Northeast states and was caused by personal enmity.
The accused have been identified as Sudesh, Shakeel Khan and Sushil who had attacked Yurngam and Wungshungmi at their rented house in Kotla Mubarakpur.The duo filed a complaint alleging that Shakeel, caretaker of their rented accommodation, and two others attacked them on the intervening night of August 18 and 19. There was an exchange of argument between some local tenants and the students on a trivial issue when they went to the roof top after a power cut on that night.
“Somebody informed the landlord staying in Vasant Kunj. He directed Shakeel to sort out the issue,” a police official said. But Shakeel beat up the duo along with his associates.
