Four African nationals were allegedly attacked by a mob at Byrathi here after locals were reportedly "annoyed" with them for creating "nuisance" in the area.
The attack took place when we were returning home, John, an African national said, adding, he has received multiple injuries.
"The mob attacked us around 12:30 am and it continued till 3 am. The incident took place when I and three others were returning home. I was chased and beaten up .... have sustained multiple injuries," he said.
John said they did not know why they were assaulted, even as the police denied any assault in the incident which took place on the intervening night of March 9 and 10 at Byrathi near Kothanur in north-east Bengaluru.
Police, who were initially tight-lipped about the incident, maintained it was a verbal duel which resulted in "incidents of pushing and jostling." Full story...
