Indian student attacked in Poland; Sushma Swaraj seeks explanation

New Delhi: In an another incident of hate crime, an Indian national has reportedly been beaten in Poland's Poznan city on Friday. 

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has sought a report from the Indian ambassador after she was approached by a netizen who informed her about a news item in Polish media regarding the death of an Indian student after being severely beaten up.

"There was an incident of beating. Fortunately, he has survived. We are inquiring into all aspects of the incident," she tweeted.

Bisaria had earlier tweeted, "Prelim enquiry suggests student attacked in Poznan tram on Wed. Thank God, he survived. Getting details." 

However, at the moment it is unclear what led to the altercation between the two sides. 

This development comes nearly a month after an Indian engineer Srinivas Kuchibhotla was shot dead in a racially motivated incident in US’ Kansas City.

Earlier in the day, two Indian nationals who had been abducted earlier in March by South Sudan rebels were released after the Indian government intervened in the matter. 

More details on the incident is awaited.
