Northeasterners flee Bangalore fearing attacks
Thousands of fear-stricken people, hailing from the northeast, fled from Bangalore city on August 16, following rumours of attacks post the recent ethnic clashes between the Bodo tribe people and Muslim communities. At least 5000 people from Northeast thronged Guwahati bound trains after the rumours had spread across the IT city through messages and mails that they could face attacks as a reaction to riots in Assam.
