Nine more African students have been arrested in connection with the killing of a Mizo youth in a case of soccer-related violence at Lovely Professional University (LPU) here, police said yesterday.
Of the nine, eight are from Sudan and one is from Tanzania and they have been sent to judicial custody, police said. Three others had been arrested earlier and charged with the murder of fellow student Johnny F. Lalhmangaih Wednesday and they are in police remand.
"We have arrested nine more African students. Though they were not directly involved in killing the Mizo student, they had provoked the other three African students to commit the crime and make the situation deteriorate further," Deputy Superintendent of Police Sandeep Sharma.
