Australia Provides Dossier | Recent Attacks on Indians | Victorian Police

Melbourne, Jan 27: Australia has handed over a police dossier on recent attacks to India, a media report said on Wednesday, Jan 27.

According to The Age report, the dossier prepared by Victorian police reveals that nearly half of the attackers were juveniles.

"It shows nearly half of those arrested between Mar 2009 and Jan 5 - three days after the Garg killing - were under 18," the report said.

The report also said, "The dossier shows that among the 18 high-profile cases, two cases of assault reported in May and Jun last year remained unsolved."

Sources said that the Australian government initially resisted providing more information to Indians as it deemed racial appearance to be a limited indicator of ethnicity.

The dossier also shows, "Of the 18 cases, two people were run over by a train and there was no foul play. While three cases remained unsolved, 33 people have been arrested over the remaining 13 cases."

ooh no, its those racist white australians again.... incase you didnt know, i was being sarcastic. now lets look at the recent incidents that were claimed as racially motivated incidents..... * the indian in melbourne who tried to douse his car with petrol and set it alight, to do an insurance job, and ended up accidently lighting himself on fire, and then tried to make lies that he was attacked by a gang. * indian man in melbourne that was burnt alive, and left on the side of a road, was actually to do with a dipute with another indian about work that has went unpaid. *2 indians murdered in perth over a money dispute. an indian man is in custody over the murders. ofcourse some of the attacks in the past on indians were from street thugs, but they were more than anything oportunistic, because alot of indian students work late doing part time jobs while they study, and catch public transport, and walk to and from work late at night. these people end up being vulnerable targets to the degenerates who loiter around areas looking for trouble. is there some racism involved by street thugs, most probably, because they're uneducated trash, but they dont intially attack them because they're indian, but because the indians become easy targets walking along in the middle of the night. once being attacked by them, there might be racist insults said by them because they're ignorant and uneducated, hence why they're criminals. so is it possible to have police patroling everywhere in the streets late at night time, not its not possible. resources would be too outstretched, and it would cost too much money. nothing can be done to stop the problem of thuggery in the streets. its always going to happen. the indian students just have to follow what most other people are doing, and not walk to and from work late at night time. most other people dont do this because they know its not smart. time for the indian students to grow some brains too.
