Burundi national attacked in 2012, died after remaining in coma for 2 yrs This case brings back memories of the attack on a student of the Republic of Burundi in East Africa on April 21, 2012, by a group of local youths in the Defence Colony area of Jalandhar. The 21-year-old youth, Yannick Nizahnga, was attacked following a brawl between an unidentified African student and two of the accused near the bus stand. Later, the accused caught hold of Yannick, mistaking him for the person who had got into a fight with the local youths. Yannick remained in a coma for over two years. Two weeks after he was flown back to Burundi on June 16 in an air ambulance arranged by the Punjab govt, he died. A total of nine youths, most of them from well-off families, including one son of an SP of Punjab Police, were charged in the case. Seven of them stood trial and were convicted, while two were declared proclaimed offenders as they flew abroad. One of the two POs was later extradited from Australia in 2014.
