Kerala Students Allegedly Assaulted in Delhi Over False Theft Charge
Imagine two students from a different state in India who were in Delhi.
They were accused of stealing something, but they said it wasn't true.
Then, some people and police officers hurt them.
They were hit with sticks, and even had their clothes taken off.
A politician heard about it and said it was wrong.
He said the police should have helped the students, but instead, they joined in the violence.
The politician says it was unfair because the students were not speaking Hindi and that the police should investigate what happened.
Two students from Kerala studying in Delhi were allegedly assaulted.
The students were falsely accused of theft, according to reports.
Delhi Police and locals reportedly participated in the assault.
CPI(M) MP John Brittas has called for a high-level probe.
