Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma voiced his concern on Tuesday regarding the alleged assault of a woman from the Northeastern region in Delhi. He stressed the need for stringent legal measures against those responsible.
Sangma criticized the alleged racial and physical harassment faced by the woman from Assam. He emphasized that such acts of violence and discrimination should not be dismissed as isolated incidents and must be met with severe legal consequences.
The incident, which involved the alleged molestation and assault of women from Assam and Bihar by a group of men, occurred outside a hotel in southeast Delhi's Nehru Place. Authorities have since detained all four suspects involved. Sangma urged urgent action to safeguard the rights and dignity of Northeastern residents across India, stating that racial discrimination and violence have no place in society.
