One more Indian student was racially assaulted in Australia, by a group of three youths who repeatedly hit and also threw chicken pieces at him.
According to the sources, 24-year-old Rajan Kumar Katkam, was travelling on a bus to Rye from Frankston at 2.30 pm, when three youths who were apparently drunk started harassing him.
"one of the members first started hitting him while the others threw chicken pieces at me," said Rajan.
"The ordeal went on for 45 minutes and no one came to my rescue except one old lady who was kind enough to get up and asked those boys to stop it," Rajan said.
Rajan Kumar Katkam, who arrived Australia in 2008 to pursue his course in Graphics, was planning to return home in Aug, 2010.
Indian students, specially in Victoria, have reported more than 100 cases of assaults since Jun 2009, prompting serious concerns over their safety and the issue of racism in the country.
