An Indian student was denied an internship at the Leipzig University in Germany because he comes from a country with a "rape problem."

Professor Annette Beck Sickinger denied the Indian male student an internship at Institute of Biochemistry, saying that they don't take Indian male students because they might commit crimes like rape, a thread of e-mails reproduced on Quora reveals.

The email reads, " Unfortunately I don't accept any Indian male students for internships. We hear a lot about the rape problem in India which I cannot support. I have many female students in my group, so I think this attitude is something I cannot support."
