Tanzanian student stripped, beaten on road in Bengaluru
The incident has led the Tanzanian embassy to ask the Indian government to take action against her attackers.
Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Wednesday said that her government is deeply pained by the incident.
"We are deeply pained over the shameful incident with a Tanzanian girl in Bengaluru," Swaraj tweeted.
On Sunday night, a 21-year-old college student was traveling in Wagon-R, when the car was stopped by a mob of at least 200 people.
Half- an -hour earlier another car had run over a woman walking on the road. The crowd turned its anger on the newly-arrived Wagon-R in which the Tanzanian student was travelling.
She was then dragged out of the Wagon-R and then allegedly paraded naked.
The torture did not stop then as when she tried to board a bus. She was pushed out by other passengers, reports said.
