The incident took place on Hesaraghatta Road in Bengaluru where on Saturday night a Sudanese national ran his car over a 35-year-old woman resulting in on the spot death of the woman.

The Tanzanian victim arrived on the scene after 30 minutes of the incident but she alleges in her complaint that the locals dragged her out of the car and thrashed her. The unruly mob thrashed her and tore off her clothes and paraded naked when she protested and pleaded them to leave her alone.

When a concerned bystander tried to cover her with a T-shirt, he too was beaten. When she attempted to board a bus and escape, the passengers of the bus threw her back into the arms of the mob.

The four others she was travelling with were also assaulted.

Meanwhile, the African students union has termed it a racial attack and demanded the authorities to take strong action against the accused.

“She’s Tanzanian, the man who caused the accident comes from Sudan, they didn’t even know each other,” said Bosco Kaweesi, Legal Adviser, All African Students Union in Bengaluru.

The Tanzanian girl alleges that the police refused to register a case saying her that they will take her complaint only if she brought in the driver who ran over a 35-year-old woman. She told them that she did not even know about the accident and had nothing to do with that Sudanese student.
