Delhi: More than 150 foreigners attack cops for detaining 3 Nigerians for overstaying; watch video

On Saturday, over 100 individuals of African descent reached a police station in South Delhi's Raju Park neighbourhood, got into a fight with officers there, and freed three persons who had been held by the anti-drugs unit due to expired visas.

Visa of three people had expired

When a Narcotics Squad squad went to Raju Park to apprehend some criminals with African ancestry, they found three people whose visas had already expired.

The three were being held at a police station when almost 100 people of African descent gathered there, attacked the officers, and forced their release. One of the three suspects, Philip, was eventually captured by the police once more. The following day, four more people were apprehended by a team from the Neb Sarai Police Station and the Narcotics Squad.
