Manipuri girl molested in Munirka

Racist assault raised its ugly head once again. A girl from Churachandpur in her early 20s was molested and beaten May 27 around 7.30 pm. The incident occurred right in the busy Babu Lal Chowk market (commonly known as "Airport") in Munirka, South Delhi.

The girl was passing through the narrow lane when a man suddenly ran into her and deliberately pushed her in the chest, causing her to fall. When she protested, the man yelled at her and kicked her in the face. She began to bleed profusely. The man then went inside a nearby barber shop, seized a chair, and tried to hurl at her. By that time friends started gathering around and the man fled the scene.

The North East Support Centre was contacted and the matter was reported to the police. However, no arrest has been made as of yet. With the help of students leaders from the Northeast, an FIR was filed at the Vasant Vihar Police Station.
