Sudanese student stabbed to death in Phagwara while protecting women students from harassers: police
Two Sudanese students of a private university in Punjab's Phagwara district were attacked with knives by other students of the university in the early hours of Thursday, leading to the death of one of the duo, police said. The incident took place around 4 am in the Green Valley area near Law Gate in Maheru village — a locality known for housing international students, particularly those from African countries. The Satnampura police identified the deceased as Mohammad Wada Bala Yousuf Ahmed, 25, and the injured student as Ahmed Mohammad Nour Ahmed Hussen. From his hospital bed, Hussen provided the police with the names of the six alleged attackers–Abdul Ahadh from Chikkamagaluru in Karnataka, and Kuwar Amar Partap Singh, Aditya Garg, Mohammed Shoib, Sushank alias Shaggy, and Yash Vardhan Rajput–all reportedly hailing from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and paying guests in Phagwara. Hussen told the police that he and Ahmed were returning from the morning prayer along with two women students (both Sudanese) when a group of men started harassing the women asking for their contact details. When the duo tried to stop the men, who were allegedly under the influence of alcohol, they turned violent and started stabbing them, the police said. The men attacked both of them in the chest and other parts of the body and fled when a local, Prabhat Dubey, came to help the victims after hearing their screams. When rushed to Johal Hospital in Jalandhar's Rama Mandi area, Ahmed was declared dead on arrival and Hussen was in critical condition. Within hours of the crime, the police arrested the six men from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, on charges under sections 109 (common intention), 103(1) (murder), 190 (voluntarily causing hurt), and 191(3) (attempt to murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Superintendent of Police (Investigation) Prabhjot Singh Virk confirmed the arrests. It is learnt that CCTV camera footage helped the police trace all the accused. The investigation was led by Rupinder Kaur Bhatti, Superintendent of Police, Phagwara; Virk; and their teams. Students from African countries are in shock, with one of them telling The Indian Express they were worried about their security. The police must enhance patrolling in their area, as a large number of students live there, the student added. The police are investigating whether there was any previous enmity between the two groups of students.
