2 Tanzanian women, 2 Nigerian men rescued from Dwarka after Child Kidnapping Rumour: Police
6 Africans allegedly assaulted by locals
New Delhi, Nov 23: Two Tanzanian women were rescued after a hostile crowd gathered outside their homes in Dwarka following rumours that they were cannibals and were abducting children, police said Friday.
Later, a police patrol party, while conducting searches in the area, found that two Nigerian men were locked inside a room and rescued them as well, they said, adding, there were rumours about them also being cannibals.
There were allegations about the foreign nationals being assaulted by the locals, but police dismissed the reports as baseless, saying the four were rescued safely.
They said the women were rescued Thursday evening after police received a series of calls informing them that they had an altercation with the locals.
Five phone calls were received at the police control room within a span of 41 minutes -- between 6.57 pm to 7.38 -- pm Thursday informing them about the altercation involving the two Tanzanian women in Kakrola area of Dwarka, police said.
When police teams reached there, they found that a crowd had gathered in front of the women's house and allegations were floating around that they had killed a child and eaten his flesh.
Police rescued the two women, said a senior police officer.
Subsequently, a sixth call was received at 7.40 pm by a woman who alleged that her 16-year-old son had been kidnapped by the Nigerian men, he said.
However, investigations showed that it was a false charge and the caller's phone was also switched off, he added.
While searching the area during the night time, police found the Nigerian nationals locked inside a room, police said.
They said they were sleeping when some people came and locked their room from outside. One of them does not possess Indian visa, and will be deported, they added.

New Delhi (PTI): The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a detailed assessment scheme for Class 10 exams in the Middle East region which were cancelled amid escalating West Asia conflict, according to officials.
The exams were cancelled following a critical review of the prevailing situation across Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
According to CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj, examinations scheduled from February 17 to 28 were conducted successfully. During this period, six academic subjects, including Mathematics, English and Science, were completed. Additionally, 16 language papers and 22 skill subject examinations were also conducted.
The board has divided candidates into five categories -- students who appeared in all examinations, students who appeared in four examinations, students who appeared in three examinations, students who appeared in two examinations and private students registered under the compartment category.
"The results of students who appeared for all exams will be declared based on their performance in the examinations. The result of students who appeared in four subjects will be declared based on the average of the marks obtained in the best three performing subjects for the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted," Bhardwaj said.
"The result of students who appeared in three subjects will be declared based on the average of the marks obtained in the best two performing subjects for the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted," he added.
The examination controller explained that very few students have appeared in the examinations in only two subjects.
"Their results will be declared based on the average of the marks of two subjects in the remaining subject," he said.
The results of Middle East students will be declared along with the rest of the students. Students will be allowed to improve their performance through the second board examinations according to policy.
