Kyrgyzstan's Indian embassy advises students to remain inside due to violent attacks by mobs.

Recently, there have been reports of mob attacks on foreign students in Kyrgyzstan, including students from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. These incidents were triggered by videos circulating online of a fight between Kyrgyz and Egyptian students on May 13th. As a precautionary measure, the Indian Embassy in Kyrgyzstan has urged all Indian students to stay indoors and avoid any unnecessary travel.

In a statement released on their official social media account, the Embassy assured that they are in constant contact with all Indian students and that the situation is currently under control. However, they have advised students to remain indoors for the time being and to reach out to the Embassy if they encounter any issues. The Embassy has also provided a 24/7 contact number for students to use in case of emergencies.

The Indian Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar, also took to Twitter to address the situation. He reiterated the Embassy's advisory and urged Indian students to stay in regular contact with the Embassy for their own safety. As the situation in Bishkek, where the attacks took place, is reportedly calm now, the Minister expressed hope that the students will remain safe.

The Embassy and the Ministry of External Affairs are working closely to ensure the welfare of all Indian students in Kyrgyzstan. They are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to provide any necessary assistance to the students. In the meantime, they have urged all students to exercise caution and follow the Embassy's advisory to stay indoors. The safety and well-being of Indian students is of utmost importance and the Embassy is taking all necessary steps to ensure it.
