In a second incident of tourist torture, an Austrian couple was allegedly harassed by an unruly mob in the Indian State of Assam on Thursday.
The couple reached Assam after completing their China, Iran, Mongolia, Russia and Nepal tour.
They were sleeping in their car when some extremist Indians spotted them and assaulted them, breaking the front pane of the vehicle. Police have yet not arrested any of the culprits.
Earlier, a group of people assaulted an Australian couple at a restaurant in Bangalore. They threatened to skin the young man’s leg, for sporting a tattoo of Hindu goddess on his skin. The couple was detained by the city police and forced to apologise for ‘hurting religious sentiments’ of the people.
There is growing outcry in India over the rising intolerance in the society.
