It happened in Greater Noida, but it still strikes a chord here in Mumbai, and elsewhere in India. Four Nigerian students became the victims of a mob attack after a peaceful protest march turned violent.

Local residents were taking out a candlelight march for a boy who had recently died because of a suspected drug overdose. The boy's parents said their son had been kidnapped and foreigners had given him drugs, as a result of which, he died. The march was taken out after the police released some Nigerians who had been detained in connection with the students' death. But it suddenly turned violent, with protestors beating up Africans on the road and in the mall. Knives, bricks and rods were used.
