Kashmiri student assaulted in Karnataka college
Srinagar: A second-year MBBS student from Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir was brutally ragged and physically assaulted by senior students in Karnataka state of India.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the student, identified as Hamim, from Islamabad, studying at Al-Ameen Medical College in Bijapur, Karnataka was targeted by senior students, with the ordeal escalating from verbal intimidation to outright physical violence.
Hamim was subjected to humiliation and forced to perform demeaning acts, including singing for the seniors’ amusement. The situation took a darker turn when the seniors attempted to force him into their car, leading Hamim to record the confrontation on his phone as a means of self-defence. This enraged the group further, resulting in a violent attack.
Later, the group of six to eight individuals stormed into Hamim’s hostel room, where they brutally beat him, forced him to record an apology video under duress, and issued chilling threats. “You have four more years here. We are locals—imagine how terrible we can make your life,” they threatened.
It is pertinent to mention that Kashmiri students have faced these situations very often in Indian colleges and universities. Several Kashmiri students were even killed and injured and expelled from various Indian colleges for minor issues.
