Chandigarh: Several Kashmiri students at two educational institutions in Punjab were allegedly assaulted after Pakistan beat India in the ongoing ICC T-20 World Cup on Sunday night.
One of the students live-streamed the attack on Facebook while they were being attacked with rods and sticks as the attackers barged into their rooms.
Reports said that four students were left injured in the incident.
Punjab police officials arrived at the college campus soon after and said that the situation at Bhai Gurdas Institute of Engineering and Technology was brought under control.
"We were watching the match here. UP waale barged in. We came here to study. We are also Indian. You can see what was done to us. Are we not Indians? So what does Modi say?" one of the Kashmiri students said, while showing around the damage done to a room.
Earlier, students shared videos showing broken chairs, upturned beds in their hostel rooms and also the hits taken on their bodies. The videos have been doing the rounds on social media.
Another set of pictures showed a group of men, with stumps in hand, going on a rampage after India lost the match to Pakistan.
This was the first time in history that Pakistan beat India in a World Cup encounter.
