New Delhi/Bangalore, Feb 4 (IBNS):After the news broke of a young Tanzanian girl's ordeal in tech city Bangalore where she was stripped and beaten up on a road on Sunday, India's External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said it was a shameful incident and she has asked the chief minister of Karnataka to send her an immediate report.

Reports said four to five people were arrested in the incident.

"Attack on African students in Bengaluru - I have asked for immediate report from the Government of Karnataka," tweeted Swaraj.

She said: "I have asked the Chief Minister to ensure safety and security of all foreign students and stringent punishment for the guilty."

"I spoke to the Chief Minister Karnataka. He informed me that a criminal case has been registered and four accused have been arrested,"posted Swaraj.

"We are deeply pained over the shameful incident with a Tanzanian girl in Bengaluru," she said earlier.

The incident has led the Tanzanian embassy to ask the Indian government to take action against her attackers.

On Sunday night, a 21-year-old college student was traveling in Wagon-R, when the car was stopped by a mob of at least 200 people.

Half- an -hour earlier another car allegedly driven by a Sudanese student had run over a woman walking on the road. The crowd turned its anger on the newly-arrived Wagon-R in which the Tanzanian student was travelling.

She was then dragged out of the Wagon-R and then allegedly paraded naked.

The torture did not stop then as when she tried to board a bus she was pushed out by other passengers, reports said.
