A disturbing incident has unfolded in Waterford, Ireland, where a six-year-old girl of Indian origin was reportedly assaulted by a group of boys. The girl's mother, Indian-born Anupa Achuthan, spoke out about the attack, revealing harrowing details and racial slurs directed at her daughter.
The violent assault is part of a worrying trend of attacks targeting the Indian community in Ireland, drawing criticism and calls for action from Indian Embassy officials. Recent cases, including assaults on an Indian hotel worker and others, have spotlighted this growing issue.
