NEW DELHI: A group of Kashmiri people was allegedly thrashed by a mob in southeast Delhi's
Sunlight Colony, following which police launched a probe, an officer said on Friday.
The victims, including four women, were allegedly surrounded and beaten up by a mob of 30-40 people last night.
The victims alleged that they were targeted because they were Kashmiris.
"My sisters were abused and beaten up. I have a broken left hand and one of my guests who had come to visit us was also attacked. It was a planned attack and the accused were carrying hockey sticks," said one of the victims.
He said that they were roughed up and the accused were shouting slogans, '
Kashmiri terrorists should be sent back'. He said that they had been attacked a couple of times earlier also and had been living in fear in the locality.
Police have registered a case and are probing the matter, an officer said.
