Chennai cops mistook us for Tibetans: North-East Indians detained for Modi-Jinping meet

Mizoram's native 28-year-old Lalramliami was arrested by police close to 12:30 p.m. on October 11 before the Modi-Jinping meet.
The police allegedly pointed out that Lalramliami was in black clothing and asked if she was a 'protester'.
Across Chennai, at least 40 men and women, who are from North East India, were allegedly made to spend the day in three police stations.
Police allegedly mistook them to be Tibetan protesters involved in a 'Free Tibet' agitation, looking to hold demonstrations against the Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Speaking to TNM, Tluanga Colney, General Secretary of North East India Welfare Association, says, " A deep sense of disappointment has seeped into the whole community."
