Commissioner of Police

Haryana,

Subject: North East Boys and Girls are Panic at Racial Attack and Sexual Assault.

Sir,

I on behalf of North East boys and girls living in Gurgaon would like to submit this letter, seeking help to racial attack and sexual harassment faced by North East boys and girls working in Gurgaon. The following is the details of cases reported to us. These boys and girls are so afraid to approach your police station to lodge complaint, as they find much difficulties to register complaint in past.

We are grateful to Delhi Police and Delhi Government for taking up the matter after gruesome killing of a 19-year-old Naga girl by an IIT PhD student in Munirka on October 25. North East boys and girls are also facing racial attack and sexual assault in Gurgaon for last few years. We earnestly request your good office to take up the matter to help young boys and girls who are facing the plight of racial discrimination and sexual harassment.
On November 6 – A 20-year-old girl from Manipur was molested by her Show room manager of Gini & Joni in Metropolitan Mall, Gurgaon at 9.20PM after rejecting his advances by showing nude pictures in computer.
On November 4 – A 22-year-old boy from Manipur was beaten by locals at Sikanderpur, Gurgaon at 9PM
On November 3 – Two boys from Manipur working in Mall in Gurgaon were severely attacked at 9PM in Sikanderpur Gurgaon.
On November 3 – Two girls from Manipur working in Mall in Gurgaon were attacked and pushed in drainage in Sikanderpur, Gurgaon at 8 pm.

A Naga girl from Manipur molested by a show room manager last night in Gurgaon’s Metropolitan Mall. Two girls pushed into drainage by 7 drunkards in Sikenderpur, Gurgaon under DLF Phase 2 police station on November 3rd night and two boys from Manipur beaten same night at same place and another boy beaten at same place following day. Panic has spread among all North East India boys and girls living in Gurgaon. Uncontrolled racial attack on North East communities in National Capital Region continues.
