One man of the two men accused of harassing and abusing two Manipuri women in Delhi on January 25 has been arrested, police said. Police are looking for the second accused who is absconding. The arrested accused has been identified as Prem. The Jan 25 incident came to light following uproar over the death of a student from northeast, Nido Taniam, who was allegedly assaulted by shopkeepers on January 29. The Manipuri women were allegedly assaulted and had to face racist abuses in Kotla Mubarakpur area in south Delhi on the eve of Republic Day. The victims had accused the police of being reluctant to register an FIR. According to police, the women, were beaten up by a group of men, who were in their late 20s, reported PTI. The women in their complaint said that one of the assaulters tied the leash of his dog to one of the victims boots. She panicked and in a bid to get rid of the dog, she started kicking the animal. Seeing this, the men started beating her up. When her friend tried to intervene, she too was allegedly thrashed by the men who made racists comments against them, police said. The victims alleged that none of the locals came to help them and when they reached the police station to lodge an FIR, policemen were initially reluctant to register a case. The case was registered only the next day after leaders of some Northeast outfits intervened.
