A Nigerian man was beaten mercilessly by a mob in Delhi a few days ago but the Delhi Police allegedly filed a FIR which said the man was hurt after he fell from the stairs.

The incident occurred in Delhi&#39;s&nbsp;Malviya Nagar.&nbsp;

The Nigerian&nbsp;was tied to a pillar after the mob suspected&nbsp;the man&nbsp;had stolen money, he was then beaten continuously even though he kept pleading to be let off.

&quot;Even if the Nigerian national was stealing, beating him is not justified,&quot; Ishwar Singh, DCP South said.&nbsp;

&quot;When the video surfaced we got to know what happened. He was beaten up because of theft suspicion, there is no racial basis,&quot; he added.
