The couple from Switzerland was allegedly chased and attacked by a group of youths in Agra’s Fatehpur Sikri on Sunday. Quentin Jeremy Clerc (24) said that he and his girlfriend Marie Droz were first followed by the group of young people who later attacked them, leaving Clerc with a fractured skull and a clot in his brain, reports said. Droz’s arm was reportedly fractured in the assault and she also suffered multiple bruises.

According to a PTI report, Union Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma also condemned the attack and said it was a matter of shame for Indians. He said that it was unfortunate that such an incident had happened in the country. “I think the foreign minister has reacted to it. It’s a matter of law and order but as the culture minister and as a human being I condemn the attack on the foreign tourists. It’s unfortunate, should not have happened. It’s a matter of shame for us,” Sharma told.
