Arunachal student beaten to death: Justice for Nido Taniam, cry students from the Northeast

A day after Arunachal Pradesh MLA's son Nido Taniam died after he was allegedly beaten up by some shopkeepers following an altercation sparked by their taunts on his hairstyle, several students from the Northeast have now threatened to hold a protest march in New Delhi.

In a bid to register protest, Parliamentarians from the Northeast are also planning to meet Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde.
Taniam, a 19-year-old college student from Arunachal Pradesh was found dead in his bedroom after he was allegedly beaten by a group of 5-6 men in a South Delhi market. The post-mortem report of the deceased student did not indicate major external injuries although a detailed probe is still on to ascertain the cause of death.
 A student of a university in Jalandhar, Taniam had come to Delhi on a vacation. On Wednesday he, along with two of his friends, had gone to Lajpat Nagar Part 1 to meet an ailing friend when the shopkeeper of Rajasthan Paneer Bhandar at A Block allegedly passed "unsavoury" remarks about Taniam's blonde hair colour.
