When our doctor friends intervened, the men attacked him with a hockey stick and an iron rod, leaving him injured. They must have been criminals. They had removed their car’s number plate. We called the police, but the men remained in their car and tried to drive towards us. We were taken to the police station, but despite repeatedly requesting action, the police did not initially register an FIR or record our complaint. We reached the police station around 3 or 4 AM, and after spending hours, we were taken to RML Hospital. The injured friend is still admitted to the hospital. The police have seized the car and our phones, which may have important evidence. We were 5 people, and they were 3 people. I am from Nagaland and have been living in Delhi for many years. I want the truth to come out and want them to be arrested, because this is an attempt to murder and kidnapping…”
