Delhi Police assure security for northeast people

New Delhi - Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar Friday assured people from the northeastern states of their security in the national capital and said they need not panic or leave the city.

Neeraj Kumar's remarks came following a huge exodus of northeast people in the last two days from cities like Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad after rumours that they would be attacked.

"(We) wish to assure all people from the northeast that (there is) no reason whatsoever to panic or leave Delhi. Please report any disturbing incident to us. We are with you for help," Kumar tweeted.

To thwart any untoward incident, the security of northeast youths and employees was reviewed in the national capital.

Joint Commissioner of Police Robin Hibu said meetings with student leaders were held at the police headquarters and they were told not to panic.

He said one person has been booked for eve teasing in south Delhi.
