Bangalore: Assaulted African national says no one came to help him

[Aka123]

Bangalore: The recent deadly assault on a Chad national from Africa in Bangalore is raising concerns among others living there. Wandow Timothi was allegedly attacked by over 12 men in what many are calling a racial incident.
Taunted, chased and allegedly assaulted mercilessly by 12 people, Wandow Thimothi is now in a state of shock. The IT professional from Chad sustained multiple head injuries after being allegedly assaulted by the group when riding back from the local church. Thimothi, who is married to an Indian and has been living in the country for a decade, is now looking at his adopted country differently.
"He shouted at me, hey you Negro! Why do you say that, I asked. He said this is not your country, this is India, you are a foreigner. They then came on me like a bee, they pushed me because they were many," Timothi said.

Doctors treating Timothi say he has to undergo some more surgeries to fully recover from the blows he has received. But what hurts this father of two is that not even a single person came to help him when he was getting pounded.
"I got hurt. No one tried rescuing me, when I asked for help, people started closing their shops. You can understand those kind of feelings, the shop that you went regularly to and when you asked for help everybody was closing the shops, which means you are not wanted," he said.
The police have arrested two of the 12 people who allegedly assaulted Timothi. But he said he'll get justice only if all the 12 get arrested. With nearly 4,000 African nationals living in the city, the focus will be on the Bangalore Police to ensure that what happened to Timothi is not repeated.

The 12 criminals who committed the crime are not human but Animals.

I condemn this incident and the criminals must be brought to justice.

Regarding why nobody came to help the unfortunate part is that in India nobody likes to help because they are afraid of getting entangled in legal matters and court proceedings. Recently the Delhi high court passed an order that civilians who help injured should not be forced to come for police station questioning and court hearings.

The unwillingness to help has nothing to do with racism

so wht is racism to u thn?

I said unwillingness to help was not related to racism. The people would not have helped even if he was a white American or a brown Indian.

As for the attackers prima facie their motive seems to be racist and they should be punished to the full extent of law

 

[surya kiran]

even if an indian was being beaten there would have been nobody to help. I hope the cops make an example of the idiots responsible for this.

 

[Tshering22]

Fcking losers.

These idiots should be taught how was it being when under a different country.

It is sadly true.

Indians especially the 70s era ones are very racist. And by racist I mean skin colour and features; not some stupid faith or religion related nonsense.

It is obviously a racist attack and India is one of the most racist countries on Earth...

but still India is the most racially diverse country on this Planet

oh god dis is a very sad incident

problem is India still being a developing is not used to foreigners coming and residing amount the locals unlike western countries it will take time for people getting used to it and become tolerant towards foreigners on top of that most of the black african people are involved in drug smuggling and similar criminal activities earning their entire community bad reputation

 

[indiatester]

Unfortunately these incidents are not considered "law and order" problem and hence the perpetrators are not pursued aggressively. Only when these incidents have immediate reaction from the police will the idiots learn to behave.

 

[Shankranthi]

LOL....all this just because the guy was black.

That moron started the fight by attempting to give unwanted advice to drunk hooligans on bikes when they were speeding past him. When they heard him and stopped, he too stood his ground and got into an argument with them that led to him getting thrashed.

I have seen similar thing happen to a couple of over smart North Indians (appeared to be punjabis) who shouted at a gang of drunk youths speeding on their bikes. They were beaten up right in front of me....and if you ask me they went looking for trouble. Aggressive behavior with gangs always gets people into trouble.

No body in their right mind would step in like a hindi movie hero in a middle of a fight. Especially one with so many drunk youths.

Did that Idiot from chad really think shopkeepers would help him fight thugs ? He lived in India for 10 years and still cannot figure that out ?
