Say students after a girl from Manipur is killed by an IIT PhD scholar
Linda Bhutia, 22, is cursing the day she decided to come to Delhi for pursuing higher education and realising her dreams.
The Delhi University student from Meghalaya is outraged, just like others from the north eastern states, over the dastardly killing of a Naga teenager by an IIT PhD scholar in south Delhi on Saturday evening.
Tenzing, a student of History at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, said that the incident reveals the intrinsic bias against the students from the northeastern states and the treatment meted out to them.
"Students from the north east become easy targets. We are treated like we come from another country altogether," Tenzing alleged.
Nina Abonmai, who works for a consultancy firm, claimed that even the police look at them with suspicion and did not help them readily.
Hongry was visiting her sister in Munirka when her neighbour Pushpam entered the house, finding her alone and assaulted her. When the 19-year-old girl Sinha strangled her and then burnt her body in the kitchen to remove evidence.
Hongray's burnt body was discovered on Saturday evening.
Sinha, who hails from Patna, had graduated from an engineering college in Allahabad and completed his MSc from IISc, Bangalore. He was doing PhD in Wave Mechanics from IIT-Delhi on a monthly scholarship of Rs 14,000.
