Congolese national beaten to death in Delhi

[Windjammer]

A 23-year-old Congolese national was allegedly beaten to death by a group of men in south Delhi's Vasant Kunj area, police said today.

The incident took place around 11.45 PM yesterday when the man, M T Olivia had a heated argument with a group of three persons at Kishangadh locality in Vasant Kunj.

Following the argument, the group pounced on Olivia, and as he tried to escape, they chased him for around 20-25 metres and attacked him again with stones.

"A case of murder has been registered. We are checking CCTV footage to identify the accused," additional DCP (South) Nupur Prasad said.

What exactly led to the argument between Olivia and the group is yet to be ascertained. The case is being probed from all angles including robbery and a possible racist attack on the African national.

The Embassy of Congo has been informed about the incident.

Olivia taught foreign languages at a private institute here. He lived in South Extension area. Why he had gone to Kishangadh at that hour has also not been ascertained yet, police said.

It was another group of locals who rescued Olivia and called up police. He was rushed to a hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

The locals, however, could not identify the perpetrators or say what had led to the incident. Investigation is underway, police added.

So three Indians beat up a black guy, other bunch of Indians tried to save that black guy by taking him to the hospital and calling the police.

What does that prove ? That we have criminals in India and good samaritans in India ?

It clearly implies that racism is not the reason..

So you are trying to say that white people are racists and Indians are more racists... alright.

Extending your above logic to this post ... does it mean you are being more Indian than Indians?

Congolese man killed in Delhi: For African students, racial taunts never end

  A 23-year-old Congolese national was allegedly beaten to death by a group of men in south Delhi’s Vasant Kunj area, police said on Saturday.
  
  What led to an argument that triggered the fight is yet to be ascertained. The case is being probed from all angles including robbery and a possible racist attack on the African national.
  
  African students studying in colleges across India had earlier said a recent incident in Bengaluru, where a Tanzanian woman was allegedly stripped and paraded by an angry mob, was shocking but not entirely surprising.
  Be it in Noida, Pune or Punjab, students from Africa pursuing higher education across the country shared the kind of hardship they face on a daily basis. In Punjab alone, African students have been victims of racial violence in at least three horrific incidents in the recent past.
  
  “It’s very tough for us to travel or ride our bikes. The policemen harass us in the name of checking bike papers. In the market too, if we are roaming with girls, they pass sarcastic comments. They call us names and treat us as if we were running some crime rackets,” said a Phagwara-based student who did not want to be named.
  
  There are more than 2,000 African students residing in Jalandhar and Phagwara. Though there has been no major incident of violence on college campuses in the last one year, outside they face racial taunts at every turn. Even the Punjab Police refers to them as ‘kaale’ (blacks) in the FIRs of petty or big crimes registered against them.
  
  The situation is no different in Pune, where nearly 1,800 African students are enrolled in different educational institutions.
  
  In September last year, home minister Rajnath Singh was caught off guard during a function at an educational institute, when Simon Kuany, president of Symbiosis International Students Council, complained about the ‘racial slur’ he was facing in Pune.
  
  
  Kuany had complained about people calling them “Kaalia” and also pointed to some of the stereotypes Indians had about African nationals—“that we are all drug addicts”.
  
  In the National Capital Region of Noida, on Delhi’s outskirts, the most common grouse of African students was being labelled as “drug peddlers” and denial of houses on rent.
  
  “College is good but India is bad. People in India are racists. They often make comments on my colour of skin and body. And they stare at me like I am an alien,” says Maria, an engineering student at Sharda University.
  
  Said Dan, a native of Congo, “Friends in college are very good. I have never felt discriminated but outside the college, things are not the same. We avoid visiting public places because people stare at us.”
  
  According to Sharda University, there are around 800 students from various African countries enrolled in different study programmes. Around 40 per cent students stay in college hostel and rest stay in rented accommodation outside college campus.
  
  “Around 40 % African students stay in college hostel and rest stay in rented accommodation outside the campus. Every year we get more than 1,000 admission applications from African countries. Most of them return to their countries after finishing the course,” said Amal Kumar, Joint Registrar of Sharda University.
  
  In Amity University, they have a separate counselling centre for African students. “We have around 150 African students in the college. We regularly call a counselling session with them. We have hostel facilities for them but it is their discretion to stay in college or outside,” said Savita Mehta, Vice-President, Communications, Amity University.
  
  An African woman was allegedly forced to give a urinary sample in public for a drug test during then Delhi law minister Somnath Bharti’s raid in a south Delhi locality he claimed had a “drug and prostitution” racket, lawyer Harish Salve had said in 2014.
  
  A group of young Africans had found themselves in the middle of a political and media furore in Delhi with the greenhorn minister in the new state government accusing them of being part of a “prostitution and drug racket” and demanding their arrest.

So all Africans are drug dealers? nice....

You can twist it to suit your absurd logic, ...the white people may be racists against the coloured but Indians seem to forget they are only a trifle lighter shade of that colour.

Extending your above logic to this post ... does it mean you are being more Indian than Indians?

Bump....i am not the one posting and making lame excuses on some Indian forum.

Intolerance is the reason

But you directly assumed that because he was black, he was a drug dealer. Infact, hes a teacher. Shame on you.
