Bengaluru: Home Minister Dr G. Parameshwar has said that it was an Iranian boy who came to the rescue of the mob assault victim Linah and took her to a friend’s place, where she spent two days without coming out due to shock and fear.
Mr Parameshwar also read out the complaint to the media written by Linah on Wednesday – “As we were leaving, the Indians started beating my friends and me and started pulling our clothes and tore them leaving me without top and left me like that. We went into a bus, but the driver did not want to move and the people in the bus started to beat us and pushed us outside and I fell outside the bus. And the Indians outside pulled me and friend outside and they continued to beat us. Then we ran to one of the shops and sat there, but still they followed us until one Iranian came and helped us. We went to a friend's house where we stayed without going out for two days.”
The Minister said, “There are 12,000 foreign students in the city and it is the government’s duty to provide them protection and the home department is committed to it,” he added.
