Indian man injured in racist attack near Dublin, envoy seeks justice

An Indian man in his 40s was hospitalised following what has been dubbed mindless, racist violence in a suburb of the Irish capital of Dublin, with the Indian Ambassador to Ireland calling for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
According to local reports, the victim had arrived in Ireland a few weeks ago when he was targeted in an assault at Parkhill Road in Tallaght on Saturday evening. The Gardai, as the police are known in Ireland, have opened an investigation into the case.
"Garda in Tallaght were alerted to an incident at Parkhill Road, Tallaght, Dublin 24 on the evening of Saturday 19th July, 2025, at approximately 6pm, the local police said in a statement.
Garda attended the scene and a male, aged in his 40s was taken to Tallaght University Hospital with injuries, the statement added.
Indian Ambassador to Ireland Akhilesh Mishra was among those taking to social media to express his shock over the attack and also questioned some of the Irish media coverage of the violent assault.
How can an ALLEGED' assault cause such horrible injury and bleeding? Aghast at the insensitivity & obfuscation of RTE [Ireland's national media outlet] Hope the perpetrators are brought to justice, he posted on X.
The Irish Independent' newspaper reported that the Fine Gael party Councillor for Tallaght South, Baby Pereppadan, met with the man on Monday and said he remains in shock.
"He couldn't speak much because of the shock he was in, he only arrived in Ireland three weeks ago. He is not taking any visitors at the moment, Pereppadan told the newspaper.
"I am calling for more Garda (police) presence in the area. Small incidents like these are happening frequently in Tallaght. People need to understand that many Indian people moving to Ireland are here on work permits, to study and work in the healthcare sector or in IT and so on, providing critical skills, he said.
Meanwhile, a Stand Against Racism protest has been planned by the local community in condemnation of the "vicious racist attack" and to express solidarity with migrants to the region. The demonstration, organised by United Against Racism and Dublin South West Together, will take place on Friday at the roundabout on Treepark Road in Kilnamamagh, a residential area in Tallaght.
Dublin South West Together said in a Facebook post: A vicious racist attack in Kilnamanagh which left an Indian man needing hospital treatment. The man was walking through Kilnamanagh when he was set upon by a gang of youths. The man was stabbed, beaten and stripped. False accusations about the man were later spread on social media in an attempt to justify the attack.
Racists and Far Right groups have stoked the fire against immigrants for months and this has fuelled racism across Dublin city. Our local community will be taking a stand against this attack. The people being attacked are our neighbours, their children are the children of our neighbours. We must stand by them and not allow racists who inflict violence to gain any more.

Hateful online posts: Dispute between sweet shop owner, customer resolved, says Nuh police

According to police sources, this incident occurred after Prasad refused to accept a payment through UPI from a customer. Ten people were booked after Girraj Prasad, owner of Lala Chandiram Sweets in Anaj Mandi, complained that false propaganda was being run online against his shop on Facebook. Gurugram, Jul 24 (PTI) Nuh Police said that the matter stemming from the hateful online posts against a sweet shop was resolved on Thursday after its owner and a customer resolved the issue amicably. Prasad, in his complaint, alleged that on July 21, some people made false accusations on Facebook against his outlet and his Muslim employees. 'Ten to 12 Muslim employees work at my shop. For the last 30 years, milk has been supplied by suppliers from the Muslim community…It is a well-planned conspiracy and an attempt to spoil the brotherhood and incite communal riots,' Prasad mentioned in the complaint. After the FIR, the social activists and local political leaders went to meet DC Vishram Kumar Meena, where Nuh SP Rajesh Kumar was also present. 'The matter was not related to a particular community but only between a shop owner and a customer, and the matter is resolved now', said Meena. Girraj and his customer both expressed regret over the matter, with the former also agreeing to put a board outside the shop about the payment mode.

3 men sentenced to 7 years in jail for involvement in violent mob attack on Bengaluru police station

On August 12, 2020, an armed mob of around 600-800 agitators tried to break open the gate of the KG Halli police station in Bengaluru and threatened to kill police personnel for preventing them from killing a man who had made some vulgar comments in a Facebook post about Prophet Mohammed, said the statement issued by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The court also imposed a fine on the convicts — Syed Ikramuddin, Syed Asif and Mohammed Atif. New Delhi, Jul 24 (PTI) Three men were convicted and sentenced to seven years of rigorous imprisonment by a NIA special court in Bengaluru on Thursday in the 2020 KG Halli police station violent mob attack case, an official statement said. During the attack, the three convicts, all supporters of the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), the political arm of the banned Popular Front of India (PFI), set vehicles outside the police station on fire as part of a conspiracy hatched with district leaders of the organisation to spread terror and panic in the society. The investigations by the NIA, which took over the case from the local police in September 2020, revealed that the trio had also instigated others to join the attack. The NIA found evidence establishing the commission of a terrorist act by the accused using inflammable substance (petrol) and damage to public and private property to the tune of nearly Rs 14 lakh, the statement said. The accused were chargesheeted in February 2021 and in June 2025, they had pleaded guilty to all the charges against them, it added. PTI AKV RC This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
