The attacker who allegedly stabbed six people, including four Indian students, at a medical university college in Russia drew a swastika on a wall with the victims’ blood, local media reported.
The media also shared a photo on its Telegram channel showing a blood-stained wall.
The Baza channel claimed that the attacker was a supporter of banned neo-Nazi clothing. “The organization is designated as a terrorist organization and is banned in Russia,” the report added.
“He belonged to the banned neo-Nazi organization NS/WP. He shouted nationalist slogans about the Holocaust during the frenzied attack,” Baza said while sharing a photo of a swastika painted on a wall with the blood of victims.
Indian students stabbed in Russia
At least six people, including an Indian and two policemen, were injured in a knife attack in the sports hall of a foreign student dormitory at the Bashkir State Medical University in Russia’s Bashkortostan Republic in Ufa on Saturday.
The Embassy of India in Russia posted on X: “There was an unfortunate incident of attack in Ufa. Several persons, including four Indian students, were injured.”
“The embassy is in contact with the authorities and officials from the consulate in Kazan are on their way to Ufa to provide assistance to the injured students,” the embassy added.
Several horrifying videos of the incident have surfaced on social media, many revealing chilling details. A purported video shared by the medical student body, All India Medical Students’ Association (AIMSA), showed the floor of the university premises covered in blood.
According to eyewitnesses, “there was blood everywhere,” Ren TV reported, showing footage of the injured being taken to hospital by ambulance.
AIMSA has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the “violent attack” on four Indian medical students in Russia, asking for diplomatic steps to ensure justice and strengthen security mechanisms and provide support to Indian students.
