Mahendragarh, Feb 3 (IBNS): Two Kashmiri students were allegedly beaten and thrashed by a mob in Haryana's Mahendragarh on Friday evening, media reports said.

After offering Friday prayers, the two students went to a market where they had encountered a group of 15 people.

The students said they were being beaten with sticks, bricks and helmets without meting out any reason.

Both the students study Geography at Central University of Haryana in Mahendragarh.

"After offering prayers when we went to the market some people surrounded us. It seems they were following us. The moment we stopped our bike at Masani chowk, they came from behind and started beating us mercilessly" the students told NDTV.

The police have arrested three accused people and identified three others.

Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police Shesh Paul Vaid told NDTV: "Haryana Police has taken cognizance... One of our officers is in touch with the boys as well."

Urging the authorities of Haryana to act tough, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti tweeted: "Shocked & disturbed to hear reports of Kashmiri students being assaulted in Mahendargarh, Haryana. I urge the authorities to investigate & take strict action." She even tagged Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar in the tweet.

Later she even thanked Khattar for taking actions against the accused.

Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted: "This is terrible & goes against the spirit of what @PMOIndia @narendramodi ji said from the ramparts of the Red Fort. I hope the authorities in Haryana act quickly against this violence."
