Greater Noida police transporting African nationals during a violent rampage by local residents following death of a local teenager from a suspected drug overdose. Around a dozen people were wounded in the violence late Monday in Greater Noida, a satellite city of New Delhi where hundreds of African students are based. The violence came after police released five African students detained over the youth’s death without bringing charges, citing a lack of evidence. African student leader Samuel Jack said Monday’s attack was just the latest example of racist violence against them. “We are targeted because of our colour,” Jack told AFP, adding that many African students were leaving the area out of fear.
