New Delhi: The All India Medical Students’ Association (AIMSA) has sought urgent intervention from the Indian High Commission in Iran following an alleged physical attack on Indian medical students from Jammu and Kashmir studying at Islamic Azad University, Tehran.
In a formal communication addressed to the Indian High Commission in Tehran, AIMSA said Indian students were attacked and threatened despite prior complaints having been lodged with the concerned hospital and university authorities. The association described the incident as grave and said it exposed serious lapses in ensuring student safety on campus.
Vice President of AIMSA, J&K, Dr Mohammad Momin Khan said the incident has also been captured on video, underscoring the seriousness of the assault. He said repeated complaints by students were ignored, and no preventive steps were taken, which ultimately led to the attack.
According to AIMSA, the affected students are under severe mental stress and fear for their personal safety. The association said such incidents not only endanger the well-being of Indian nationals abroad but also adversely impact their academic and professional pursuits.
In its letter, AIMSA urged the Indian High Commission to take up the matter with the university administration and relevant local authorities, ensure immediate safety and protection of Indian students, facilitate a fair and impartial enquiry into the incident, and press for strict action against those responsible to prevent recurrence.
The association reiterated that the Indian student community abroad looks to the High Commission as a vital support system and expressed hope that timely diplomatic intervention would help restore safety, confidence, and justice for the affected students. [KNT]
