Two foreign students assaulted at Quepem

MARGAO: Two foreign nationals, pursuing their graduation in Goa, were assaulted by some unidentified persons at Quepem, on Tuesday. Quepem police have booked a non-cognisable offence against the unknown culprits who, the police believe are locals.
Police sources said that the two students were walking to their rooms when the two persons on a two-wheeler accosted them near the Amona road junction.“The two accused apparently tried to engage the students in a conversation, but probably owing to the language barrier, the accused found their replies offensive and hit them before fleeing from the spot,” police sources explained.
The students failed to note the registration number of the two-wheeler ridden by the accused.
Based on the complaint filed by the foreign students, the Quepem police on Wednesday booked a non-cognisable offence against the unknown accused under provisions of the Indian Penal Code.
