According to a local, the victims had been staying in Sikanderpur since the last two years and worked at a BPO in Gurgaon. “The boys were confined for over 3 hours and beaten brutally. Aloto was then rescued by a relative,” the local added.
To torture the victims more, the attackers then chopped off Awang’s hair saying, “We want to send a message to all of you in the northeast. If you guys from Manipur or Nagaland come here, we will kill you”, claimed Mathew. Awang was then dumped on the roadside. He was spotted on Thursday morning by his relative.
The victims were first rushed to the Civil Hospital, Gurgaon, after which Awang, who is said to be in a critical condition was then referred to Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi.
A case has been registered by DLF phase – 1 police station against 7 unidentified persons and the police said investigations are on.
