Two days after Afghan student Mohammad Shamim Rahimi was brutally assaulted by three youths at the Azam campus in Camp, it has been discovered that the attack was prompted by four Afghan students singing Hindi and Afghani songs and passing lewd comments at girls passing by.

Mistaken identity
On Friday, three youths from the area tried to stop the Afghani student, but were beaten up by the latter. The trio - Abed Kureshi (19), Mohsin Shaikh (23) and Mohsin Yusuf (21) — fled the spot, but returned to Azam campus with over 20 boys, seeking revenge.
