New Delhi : A video has surfaced showing a man, believed to be a Nigerian, tied to a pole and being beaten up with sticks by a group of men after he allegedly attempted to burgle their house in south Delhi’s Malviya Nagar.
Police said the incident took place on September 24 and the man, who identified himself as Ahmed, was arrested. Also, a case has been registered against the men who thrashed him and a person has been held, said Dependra Pathak, chief spokesperson of Delhi Police.
It was not clear if the Nigerian Mission raised the issue with the Ministry of External Affairs. Police said the men earlier claimed that Ahmed had sustained injuries after he slipped while trying to escape.
Krishna Kumar (54), a resident of Savitri Nagar, claimed the man broke into his house and tried to steal valuables, police said.
Police said Ahmed had claimed he belongs to Nigeria but did not furnish any documents that could help establish his identity.
