A 21-year-old Tanzanian girl who is a second year BBA student of Acharya College had absolutely nothing to do with the car that ran over and killed a 35-year-old Hesaraghatta resident on Sunday night. Yet, while the local police stood by and watched, she was repeatedly beaten and then stripped of all her clothes and made to parade around naked.
Travelling in another car, a Wagon-R, along with four others, the young woman who arrived on the scene some 30 minutes later, was however still dragged out of the car after it was surrounded and stopped by the mob.
When a concerned bystander tried to cover her with a T-shirt, he too was beaten. When she attempted to board a bus and escape, the passengers of the bus threw her back into the arms of the mob.
The four others she was travelling with were also assaulted after the mob that was angered after a car driven by a Sudanese youth ran over and killed a local resident, waylaid the second car, which the local African Association, said arrived on the scene a full 30 minutes later and was not even remotely connected to Sunday’s Hesaraghatta accident.
“She’s Tanzanian, the man who caused the accident comes from Sudan, they didn’t even know each other,” said Bosco Kaweesi, Legal Adviser, All African Students Union in Bengaluru.
“The scared students were forced out of the car and then the car was set ablaze. The driver of the second car identified as Micah S Pundugu was beaten up black and blue by the mob who then stripped the girl student. When someone from the crowd offered her a T-Shirt to save her modesty, that man too was beaten up by the mob. She later, with her torn clothes, tried to enter a BMTC bus that had slowed down nearby, but the passengers in the bus pushed her back down on to the road,” Kaweesi told DC adding, “Micah recounted that people were streaming out from buses, auto-rickshaws and charging towards them, punching and kicking them.”
The Tanzanian girl went straight to the police station to register a complaint of assault but the unsympathetic cops refused to register the case, saying they would only take her complaint if she brought in the driver who ran over the 35 year old woman.
“When the girl did not even know about the accident or the spot where it happened, how can she bring in the driver of the car,” said Mr Bosco.

“African embassies are shocked at Sunday’s incident in Hesaraghatta, where a mob chased and thrashed a Sudanese student and beat up four more Tanzanians. The Tanzanian Embassy on Monday sought a detailed report on the incident from student leaders to pursue the issue diplomatically,” Bosco Kaweesi, Legal Adviser, All African Students in Bengaluru told Deccan Chronicle.
The second car that was not involved in the accident was set on fire by the mob. Five Tanzanian students, including two girls, from Acharya College were in the car. Everyone was attacked. The mob stood in front of the car, preventing it from moving forward. They were beaten up, their dresses were torn and they were humiliated by the unruly mob for no fault of theirs.
The mob then set the car ablaze with all the students losing their valuable documents, like passports, ATM cards and cash. Injured students were sent out of the hospital because they could not pay the bills as their ATM cards were burnt, and they had no cash on their hands. They also could not contact their parents as their phones were robbed, Mr Bosco said.
“The local residents on Sunday night went hunting for houses where Africans stayed and harassed them. They stopped vehicles to check if there were any Africans inside. Our students heard that there were messages floating around that the locals were planning to attack Acharya College cottages and all the hostel accommodations in the area, which are full of Africans," he said.
“It was instigated by the local politicians, like it was done in the Byrathi Cross incident. The lives of African students will remain in danger until there is a collective meeting for reconciliation with the local residents, the police and the African community,” he said, adding that it worked well the last time in East Bengaluru.
“The entire African student community is still scared and reluctant to come out. Such incidents will have repercussions in Africa and innocent Indians who are in those countries will also face trouble from native Africans,” he warned. The community alleged that the police were totally inept during the entire incident.

First of all you dey craze(no offence intended, just joking) She thought you would rape her. Mumbai na even error sef to go as naija person. God save you the crime wey them for give to u na "eve teasing" na serious offence(you will be jailed if convicted). Look at Nigeria and imagine everything in reverse thats india. Eg. 1. only couples are allowed in the most clubs except african clubs 2. na women dey pay bride price(groom price), and igbo people list na small thing to the amount the men dey collect. 3.when you want to book hotel with babe you will have to produce marriage certificate in most hotels. etc.
lolzzzz: I went to India to visit a friend of mine in Mumbai, I saw Nigerians lavishing and wasting in that country. India as a country is very poor and the only proffesion booming there is the medical and pharmaceutical line, still they disrespect African and take us as shiit. Let me share this experience " I walked into a shopping mall and I got to admired this sweet fair india girl, I thought it was like in Nigeria so I was like " babe, how are you?", the girl smiled and she was like "if she's not fine, what kind I do for her?" I thought it was a joke oooo, the next minute I saw youths gathering in the mall and wanting to harass me, the india girl kept telling them that "I asked her how she was with a smile on my face". I immediately noticed an old, matured man, so I thought he would understand my plights, so I told him "sir, asking someone how he/she is in Nigeria is like a compliment", to my greatest surprise the man yelled at me and asked why I should ask her such question, he sounded as if its wrong for me to ask an India girl out. To my greatest surprise they kept dragging my cloth until the security men came to rescue me.
I met an agile Nigerian guy crying and telling me he wish to see nigeria again.
My people, no place like home ooo, I remembered visiting Dubai late last year, I went to a particular area called chaja ( not sure if I get the spelling), this area is full of wasted and stranded nigerians with no hope of coming back home.
Abeg, I will start to appreciate this home called Nigeria oo, no matter how its is oooo
mayorall: To me it's the best I use. But personally can pay millions into corporate account without any fears.
People change though. One of the most trusted nairalanders just disappeared with people's money. Was ashamed of myself when I checked his thread and discovered lotta scams. I tried calling to ask him things but his phone had been off for long time now. It's a pity seriously.
Life becomes very hard when we need to meet in person before doing bussiness. let me say this after all what efuks said below the next thing is that you should listen to your gut
efuks: Looks to me as though the cryout for scam is a false one. Many people have asked for details and the fellow has not answered.Probably he has not been around or guilty of being enticed with ridiculous prices.
Anyway Here is my advice before you buy paypal from someone: Ask for his location, if he/she not far from you you can demand for a meeting between the two of you just like others have adviced. But if after confirming his location and its too wide to meet like lagos and abuja, send your own person ( a representative) to meet him in the city before dealing.
Or you ask for his name location, facebook details and his business generally ,Then go back and do your diligence .By searching about him. After you have done your due diligence, you can now call him up to do the business by first entrusting a little amount to the person and then more and more until trust is established between the two people.
Most of the time scammers cannot proof the source of their funds and have no genuine business , they just want money. From their you may have a check in your heart about dealing with the person,then back off.
I ve had instance where someone wanted to scam an onyibo lady in uk through gumtree .He wanted me to accept and convert his paypal funds to naira and gave me a story to get 800 pounds. After I accepted the fund I needed to confirm the story . I contacted the sender and she was't ready to disclose and i told her "dont tell me someone duped you later" so she quickly told me she was paying for her accommodation for next session through her roommate. So eventually I told him she was about to be scammed and declined the fund/refunded the money back to sender.
I don't believe in making quick money and selling off your destiny because of a morsel of food. I would have made money but when you dupe someone else you are creating a terrible future for yourself and your children.
The main thing is to do your due diligence before transaction with someone you cant meet. Also the person must have proofs that shows he can be trusted with your fund
And as a seller if you cannot proof you can be trusted then let the business go. Most of the time I direct people to my site where live testimonials were left with facebook , so if after going through and contacting any of the people and you are not conviced to do business with me then you are free to look for another person .I have had course to handle people's funds I ve never met in thousands of dollars without disappointing them. http://epaymentexpert.com/testimonials. You can also do that by opening a thread here for your services and people leave feedback on it when they transact with you . Just like this: https://www.nairaland.com/2840135/buy-ship-ebaycarterswalmart-etc-pick
Pls shine your eyes for ridicoulous low prices, its one way they catch people
This is what I do when I was buying PayPal from people I don't know,; I asked for your name first, then we negotiate, oya drop your account details. It must tally.
Even meeting sellers doesn't solve the problem cos he can always get back his fund. And you are on your own once you paid in cash cos you will have no receipt. I went to ile-ife to buy PayPal sometimes ago, after negotiations, I requested for his account details details, I discovered wasn't same name with what he called himself when we met. I asked why, he said the account number is for his babe. Guy make we use your account, he said NO. No Deal Nigbayen naxo I wasted my time travelling 2hours.
Back to topic. Questions I will love to ask those that had already crucified the proclaimed scammer.
What evidence as the proclaimed accuser posted?
Do you know the accuser as a member here or other sections before?
What evidence do you have its not someone hidden under this?.
Ain't saying he wasn't scammed but we have no evidence yet and we've judged. #Kangaroocourtjudge# .
If any of you need Solar panel or solar system suppliers i will link you up with mine.i can also monitor production for you for a fee. they are in hyderabad india.
This is the guy i was saying i bought paypal from.now imagine there was no trust or him carry money run. Abeg Toluxa1 God go continue they bless you and your bussiness.
toluxa1: Thanks for the vote of confidence Bro. Cheers..
Lets start dealing with this scammers na them they make life hard for everyone. when i started selling on nairaland years ago, people i dont know will send me money and i will enter market and buy market and send it through bus. i am happy and they are happy. before this olx boys came along and started scamming, naso bussiness spoil. now there is bvn and simcards are registered, thiefs should not be able to get away like before. a guy on nairaland here wey i no even know after weeks of queing for moneygram was able to send me money for perfectmoney and bitcoin he wanted to buy. if this paypal scammers don start then, maybe him for no send. Trust is not a matter of intergrity or religion is a matter of future proof.its trust that will make your customers still buy from you when they are cheaper solutions out there.a guy sent me 20000 for inverter while i was in nigeria, i sent it to him the next day over a period of 6months that guy bought goods worth over 800,000 from me and i am not including his friends he introduced to me.now imaging i ran away with 20,000 he sent first. People should stop selling their future for todays change. i don talk my own.
We do not encourage this on nairaland, if you got scammed ,you will give us the person's info here and let use ask him/her their own side of the story and if truly its a scam, then people can protect themselves dont come here and start causing panic
coretechng1: [size=18pt]Nairalanders please beware of paypal fund sellers.I just got scammed of N69,000 thats 300usd now.[/size]
the essence of places like this is to expose them. i have bought alot of things on nairaland without every meeting the person,please lets come together are get this scammers. when my atm got block in december after they set daily limit.i bought paypal hereon nairaland. please say no to scammers.
mavinc4u: i pity you. i fell for that pay first before depositing and when the money got reversed back. The scammer got his fund back and my naira. just be very careful, there are a lot of them here. it is better to use a card that charges N300 than to be scammed in the name of get it cheap with someone you can't trust.
use local shippers. there are plenty. cant remember names right now. but you ship to them and they will ship to you
afelouz: Hi house. Have been reading through the slides and its very informative. But if one dont want to use the post office free shipping. Which other way can one ship from aliexpress that is cheaper than using dhl or fedex and whats the charges?. Useful contribution will be apprciAted
COVERT2: Pls reply. Are you still able to import with this restriction, i want to buy gadgets, i know where and how but the shipping company and the new policy is blocking my way. Advice pls
She made a sacrifice for the family to be together you said so yourself,give her a chance to talk, You have been together for 15 years,she deserve a benefit of doubt, a hot coco and a listenning ear from you. Please for God's sake stop assuming
OGGS2000: my wife of fifteen years left me in Lagos to work for her ex boy friend in the east. It all started one evening she got a call that she should come to take a job at the state capital. She asked me if she can go I said if you want. She did not tell me the relationship she has with the caller she said its from someone she gave her CV. She asked me to book flight for her because she will go in the morning and I did. Two days later she called that I should book flight for her to come back and I did. A day later she called that they called that she should come and resume the next day, I made another flight booking for her. When I travelled for Christmas holiday I saw she was very happy but was surprised to hear that she was paid only forty thousand naira as her salary for the month. Last year when I moved to Lagos from where we were she left a job that pays her two hundred thousand naira plus car and driver on the reason that the family should stay tougher. This got me thinking that there must be other reason for the relocation. I got a call yesterday and I was asked why I left my wife to and work for her Politian ex boyfriend if am tired of the marriage. I called her to know the relationship she has with the man that gave her work she confirmed he is her ex boyfriend. I told her she can not marry two men at a time. she has chosen to be mistress to a politician she should pack out of my house. She is begging that I should forgive her. my problem now is if she can do this when I can pay my bills comfortably, what will she do if situation changes tomorrow.
Experience is key to getting a good pay, so make sure you will get experience.
kayoade09: Good evening fellow nairalanders....... I finished my NYSC on 15th of October and fortunately for me, I got my offer letter last week. The total payoff after a month is 30k, I'm to resume on monday but some of my siblings advised me not to accept the offer because I am a second class upper student(B.SC) and I'm less than 24. Probably a better offer will come in because I'm still in the employment age cycle. Pls advice me on this cos I dont knw wen that better offer will come in and another believe I have is that half bread is better than none.
