Bengaluru: A case similar to that of a brutal attack on Northeast residents that had grabbed national headlines has come to light. Two brothers from Assam were attacked and stabbed in the face on Sunday.

The brothers who work in a private firm near Thambuchetty Palya outpost seems to have no clue as to why they were being attacked.

The victims, 25-year-old Pemsing Teron, 25 and 23-year-old Khorsing from Karbi Anglong in Assam, have been residing in Bengaluru for the last six months.

According to the victims, they had ventured out of their home at 6:30pm when seven persons in an auto and bike stopped a little ahead, approached them and began their attack.

A complaint was later filed at the jurisdictional police station.
