Indian student from Agra stabbed 11 times in Australia; Attacker held
In Australia, a student from Agra, Uttar Pradesh, sustained multiple stab wounds. On the 6th of this month, Shubham Garg, a PhD candidate at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, was attacked. He is 28 years old. The miscreant threatened Shubham Garg for money after he went to the ATM. After he refused to give him the money, he stabbed him 11 times in the face, chest, and stomach. Serious wounds caused Shubham Garg to be hospitalised. It is found that the situation appears to be worrying.
On October 8, Ram Niwas, Shubham's father, tried calling his son many times but was unable to get through. He then told his friends about the experience over the phone and came to know about the incident. The victim's sister, Kavya Garg, tweeted to ask Prime Minister Modi, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar for assistance in getting Shubham medical care and an Australian visa. In response, the Australian High Commission said that the appropriate support is being given.
A 27-year-old man has been detained for the assault in the meantime. The incident prompted a strong response from the Ministry of External Affairs. It asked that those involved face harsh punishment.
