FBI Urged to Investigate Desecration of Gandhi Statue as Hate Crime in 


An Indian-American group on Wednesday urged the FBI to investigate the recent desecration of the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the US state of California as a hate crime and demanded authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice. The bronze statue of Gandhi in the Central Park of the city of Davis in Northern California was vandalised, broken and ripped from the base by unknown miscreants last week. The city has registered a case and is investigating the incident.

The Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies in a statement also urged President Joe Biden, who has promised to combat hate crime, to confront these growing campaigns against peaceful Indian-American community and India. We call upon the Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate this hate crime done to intimidate the Indian-American community, the foundation said, as it strongly denounced the outrageous and shocking incident.
