Dr Sanil Kapoor, superinten­dent of Greater Noida’s Kailash Hospital, told Hindustan Times she was discharged after first aid.

“All medical investigat­ions have shown no injuries on her,” said Kapoor.

A case has been registered by the police. Gautam Budh Nagar SSP Dharmendra Singh said, “An FIR has been lodged under section 147, 148, 504, 506, 323 of IPC into the matter.”

According to Singh, four-five miscreants are involved in attacking the woman.

The woman was travelling from Delhi to Alstonia Apartments in Sector Pi, around 3 kms from where she was attacked.

The Ola driver told police that he had dropped her at 5.47am and left. But, the woman said that he had fled when she was attacked, according to police.

The FIR mentions 10 unnamed suspects.

“We are verifying the statements of the victim and the cab driver, after which we will take necessary action,” said SP (rural) Sujata Singh.

The woman is pursuing her studies in New Delhi and had come to Greater Noida to see her friend in Sector Pi 1&2.

Her friend Adamu Muhammed narrated the incident as told by the victim. “Some local boys dragged her out of the cab and beat her up. She’s in trauma and is not speaking to anyone on the matter.” Alstonia is mostly occupied by Africans.

After a spate of attacks on African students, a company of Rapid Action Force was deployed in Greater Noida on Wednesday. Officials urged Africans not to move out of their residences without police assistance for next twothree days

The attack is the third against Africans in Greater Noida since Sunday. Last week a 17-year-old boy died of cardiac arrest following suspected drug overdose, and local people blamed a group of Nigerian students, saying they had supplied him the drugs.
