The incident was reported from Church Lane area of Maurice Nagar. Around 11.30pm, a Manipuri student, identified as 23-year-old Hemang Haokip, was walking home from a nearby church with a friend. He noticed that two men, Akash (23) and Amit (22), were pointing at him and passing comments. Haokip claimed to have confronted them, leading to an argument. Soon, the two groups were at each other's throats.
Haokip called his friends who stayed nearby and asked Akash and Amit to apologize. The duo was also joined by their friends.
"I heard some people having an argument and went downstairs to smooth things over," said Asif, a resident. He added that within minutes, a team from the Maurice Nagar police station arrived, forcing the groups to back off.
Asif said Akash and Amit had gone to see off a friend after a house party. Residents said the two were from Bihar and preparing for competitive exams. They had been staying in the area for a few months.
Haokip registered a police complaint against Akash and Amit, accusing them of using a racial slur. The duo was arrested. Police said that sections of the SC/ST Act has been registered and the youths are being questioned.
They were sent for a check-up to determine if they were drunk then. Police are examining the role of the youth with Haokip.
On January 29, Nido Tania, a 19-year-old youth from Arunachal Pradesh had been assaulted, which led to his death — after he had protested against racial slurs by some shopkeepers.
