Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj has sought a report from the state government over the incident of a Nigerian girl being thrashed in Hyderabad.
"On reports of a Nigerian student injured in Hyderabad: EAM @SushmaSwaraj has urgently sought report from State Govt, is monitoring the case", ministry spokesperson Vikas Swaroop tweeted in the morning.
On Wednesday night, a 23-year-old Niegrian student was thrashed by locals over a parking dispute in Hyderabad.
The incident comes days after a 23-year-old Congolese national was beaten to death in south Delhi's Vasant Kunj area.
