New Delhi: Two boys
from the North East were allegedly beaten with sticks last night at a south
Delhi neighbourhood, less than two weeks after the death of Nido Tania in what
his friends described as a racist attack. The boys, who belong to Manipur, were
allegedly attacked at Madangir in south Delhi by a biker.

One of them, Ginkhansuan Naulak, is still being treated at the All India
Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
The incident surfaces at a time several groups from the North East are
protesting the death of 20-year-old Nido Tania, a student of Arunachal Pradesh,
after being beaten with iron rods and sticks at south Delhi's Lajpat Nagar
market on January 29.
Nido was found dead in his bed hours after he was allegedly beaten by men who
allegedly ridiculed him for his blonde hair and shouted racist slurs at him. An
autopsy report has confirmed that he died of injuries to his head and face as a
result of that attack. Nido's parents had maintained that he died due to the
beating, but the police said they could act only after a medical report.
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal joined
protesters demanding justice for him at candlelight vigils last week.
Politicians across parties have vowed to work with activists and students from
the North East to address their recurring concerns of being racially targeted
in Delhi and other cities.
