A 32-year-old Indian-origin, Santosh Yadav, was brutally attacked by a gang of six teenagers near his Dublin apartment, leaving him with a fractured cheekbone and multiple injuries. The assault comes just days after a 40-year-old Indian man was beaten and stripped by a teenage gang in Tallaght, raising fresh concerns over a surge in racially motivated violence in Ireland. Yadav, who moved to Ireland in 2021, said he approached the Irish police but accused them of “delaying things.”
He also claimed that racist attacks on Indians are increasing across Dublin. Migrant advocacy groups have backed these concerns, warning that inadequate police training has made it harder for victims to report hate crimes.
In a social media post, entrepreneur Santosh Yadav alleged the teenagers snatched his glasses and beat him mercilessly. He called it an unprovoked racist attack. Yadav claimed that racist attacks on Indians and other minorities are surging across Dublin.
He accused the Irish government of not taking any action against the attackers. The attack comes amid growing concerns about targeted violence against Indians in Dublin. On July 19, another Indian was brutally attacked by a teen gang in Tallaght.
Jennifer Murray, the Irish woman who came to the aid of the Indian man, recounted the brutal assault and noted that it wasn’t the first racially motivated incident to occur in the area in recent days. Hundreds of people took to the streets to protest the horrific attack, according to the international media.
