On Oct 19, the 16-year-old sisters, HSC students of BCIC College came under attack around 11:30am on that day when they were returning home from the College.
All of a sudden a man, aged about 30, hurled abuse at her. As she glanced back, the man became furious, used abusive words and slapped her on the face.
Seeing the incident, the twin came forward to save her, but this only infuriated the attacker. The man slapped and kicked the twins.
Trying to get away from the attacker, the duo ran towards the college gate. The man followed them, picked up a bamboo stick and hit the siblings with it.
On the following day, teachers and fellow students formed a human chain in front of the college demanding exemplary punishment of the attacker.
