Nido Tania, son of Arunachal Pradesh Health and Family Welfare Parliamentary Secretary Nido Pavitra has reportedly been beaten to death in Lagpat Nagar area of South Delhi.
"Even after 48-hours of the incident the police failed to arrest the culprits involved in the crime, which exposed the discriminatory attitude of the people from mainland India towards the people of North East," Sanjoy said.
"This is not a new incident.... Several such incidents have been reported earlier where students of NE are victimised and we have taken adequate steps to sensitize the people ... Even I raised the issue several times in the parliaments," Sanjoy said while condemning the incident.
Tania, a BA first year student of private university, had gone to Lajpat Nagar with his friends on Wednesday last and was looking for an address when a person at a sweet shop started mocking him.
