In yet another incident of racial violence, a 29-year-old Indian was attacked by four men in Essendon, Melbourne.

The attackers reportedly poured some fluid over the Indian and set him on fire.

The Indian youth was admitted to hospital sustaining 15% burn injuries.

Last week, a 21-year-old Indian youth with permanent residency in Australia was fatally stabbed in the abdomen by unidentified assailants while on his way to work, the first death in a slew of vicious attacks on the community members.

Two days later, a half-burnt body was found in the town of Griffith, New South Wales, Australia. The body was identified as that of Ranjodh Singh (25), who left India a year ago to study management.

Singh is the second Indian to be killed in Australia since the attacks began.
