Hate Graffiti Targets Temple, Restaurants After Indian Student Attack
Someone painted hateful messages on a Hindu temple and two restaurants in Australia.
This happened after an Indian student was attacked and hurt in a separate incident.
The graffiti included a very rude message and a picture of Hitler.
The Indian student was punched after an argument.
The police are investigating both incidents, including if the attack was motivated by racism.
The government is very concerned and wants the police to quickly find those responsible for the graffiti.
It's important to treat everyone with respect and not be mean to people because of their race or where they come from.
A Hindu temple and two Asian restaurants in Melbourne, Australia, were vandalized with hate graffiti.
The graffiti included the phrase "Go Home Brown C**T" and a picture of Adolf Hitler at the temple.
The vandalism occurred following a brutal attack on an Indian student in Adelaide.
The Indian student, Charanpreet Singh, was assaulted after a parking dispute, sustaining facial fractures.
Victoria Premier Jacinta Allan condemned the incidents as hateful and racist, urging a quick investigation.
