Hyderabad: After the assault and stripping of a Tanzanian woman in Bengaluru, three Nigerian nationals were allegedly assaulted here by a group of around 10 locals who hurled "racist" comments. However, Hyderabad police dismissed it as a "minor brawl" between a Nigerian and a local youth.
One of the trio, Orolabe Ibidola, said the incident had happened last night in Hakimpet area when he was returning home from a religious place when some local youths allegedly passed "racist" comments against him. Ibidola, a degree student, claimed when he sought to know the reasons for their comments, the locals assaulted him.
"After beating me up, the locals then beat up two other Nigerian youths," he claimed. He also said one of the attackers was carrying a knife. However, Banjara Hills Police Station Inspector P Murali Krishna said there was a "minor brawl" between a Nigerian and a local youth following arguments over a road accident.
"We have registered a case under IPC Section 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 341 (wrongful restraint) against the local youth following a complaint by the Nigerian youth,he said.
