An altercation with a shopkeeper in National Market in Bengaluru landed a Nigerian woman in hospital in Malleswaram after the police restrained her. The woman was sedated in the hospital after she reportedly turned violent and created a ruckus.

The woman, Mariam, said to be in her 20s, had stopped at a shop in the electronics market on Monday afternoon with an unidentified man. She had entered a mobile phone store where the shopkeeper allegedly did not attend to her. She banged the glass shelf to gain his attention, but the shopkeeper asked her to refrain from it. She repeated the action and the glass broke, wounding her, the Hindu reported.

An altercation ensued with multiple shopkeepers in the area. The Upparpet police was alerted of the situation.

However, the woman was not pacified when the police tried to talk to her, following which she was tied with a rope. The duo was then taken to the KC General Hospital in Malleswaram for a medical test, but the woman reportedly turned violent when told to get out of the auto they were travelling in.

"She was attacking everyone who approached her. Later, when she was arguing with the police, someone came from behind and threw a bed sheet over her. Then she was sedated," a hospital staff told the Hindu. The woman was later taken to the emergency ward in National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS).

The two hospitals confirmed that force was used only to subdue her and she would be undergoing tests on Tuesday.

The incident comes only weeks after the Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj pacified African nations' envoys over the death of a Congolese man in New Delhi. The incident had resulted in the envoys threatening to boycott the "Africa Day" celebrations in New Delhi on May 25. The incident had raised eyebrows and grabbed media attention, requiring Swaraj to deploy Minister of State for External Affairs Gen VK Singh to promise the African Heads of Missions he would be meeting them once every quarter.

Apart from the attack on the Congolese man, there has been a series of crimes involving Africans in Bengaluru. In a horrific incident, a 21-year-old Tanzanian woman was stripped and paraded naked by a mob on Hessaraghatta Road in January. A month later, the Bengaluru Police had registered cases against African students for violence.

Na wa

What again

How were they sure it was drugs just by sighting her?


well some anger fit do some people like drug

Too much alcohol i guess

woman, in her late 20s, was identified as Mariam. She
was accompanied by a man. According to witnesses,
Mariam stopped at a mobile phone store inside the busy
market around 2.45 p.m. on Monday and when the
shopkeeper did not attend to her, she reportedly banged the
glass counter twice.

"She was told not to do, as the glass might break. Hearing
this, she banged the counter again. The glass broke, leaving
her with wounds on her hands,"said a witness who was near
the shop at the time of the incident.

Almost immediately, shopkeepers gathered around the
couple. A heated argument ensued. Someone alerted the
Upparpet police. When they tried to pacify the lady, she
allegedly attacked them. The police restrained her with a
rope and bundled the couple into their van. They were taken
to K.C. General Hospital in Malleswaram for a medical test.
At the hospital, when asked to get down from the auto, the
woman allegedly again turned violent and created a ruckus.
Efforts to calm her were unsuccessful.

ha!

Dem for no tell the woman not to bang the glass counter again, na typical Nigerian she be.
If the people didn't want the Nigerian woman to bang the counter, the best thing they would have told her is "bang that counter again"! I can't bet my last card, the woman wouldn't bang the counter again.

Our actions as Nigerian at times are opposite of the commands received.

Biko Indian police, help us release the woman, she is no mental disorder. She has only acted as a typical Nigerian.

space bookers nawao

And BUBU wept!

Hnmmm, My deduction, In india its very normal for shop owners to be scared when a black couple enter a shop, they often tell d black dude to stay outside... My Parents have had such experiences... Reason being Nigerians shop lift a lot there even after seeing their big statue of indian juju right in the shop....

As for the mental disorder, she either has an history of mental illness, was hypnotised , or the blazing indian heat caused hallucinations

I have spoken.

Ok

Them don put drug Use charge against her when them never even conduct test. Nawa o

Com bak home,must you be in abroad.

Why did they have to tie her like a goat? Useless racists!

AU have to convene an emergency meeting with member head of states on the bad treatment of Africans in India. It is time we declare "India must go" in all African countries now.

Had she been white, will they treat her brutally like this? What's d evidence that she went out of control, cos I can't find any. All I can see is probably a heated argument.. Those bastards hates black with passion & yet, we treat them like kings here.

The jungle justice and barbarism in India is even worse than the one we have here in Nigeria

And they worship their dirty ladies like gods in their country

Observing

Indians in Nigeria admit that racism against dark skin people is an endemic problem back home in India, the racism is even made worse when you see Indians who are darker than Africans being racist to blacks.
There was no need sedating her as all we can see here is argument between people and you can see several police pinning her down and handcuffing her then sedating her and taking her to hospital instead of just handcuffing her to the police station for questioning.

A white woman would NEVER be treated like this, African population in India is less than 100,000 while we have hundreds of millions of Indians working and doing business in Africa unmolested.

Nigerian students in India say landlords will not rent houses to them except at triple the price and that they are harassed and called racist names when they go to the shops. But Park and Shop is owned by Indians and Nigerians dont call them names, we are even ready to attack ourselves to protect Indians here who put our citizens in unsafe working environments owned by them.

This is serious.

Sedated ke? I hope they don't steal one of her kidneys before she wakes up! Kidney theft is a problem in India.

some plpp rushed in here to check name, but they were disappointed
