A viral video from Adelaide has shaken the internet, showing an Indian student being brutally assaulted by five men in what appears to be a racially charged attack. The disturbing footage, captured near the city\’s Kintore Avenue, has not only gone viral but also triggered a wave of anger and calls for justice.
As the viral video spreads, many are asking: How safe are international students in Australia?
Unprovoked Attack on Indian Student in Adelaide\’s Kintore Avenue
The trouble began late on July 19, 2025, when 23‑year‑old Charanpreet Singh and his wife stopped their car near Kintore Avenue to enjoy city light displays. Suddenly, five men emerged from a nearby vehicle, hurled the slur “F‑‑‑ off, Indian,” and launched a savage, unprovoked assault. Singh suffered multiple facial fractures and suspected brain trauma before bystanders called ambulances.
He was rushed to Royal Adelaide Hospital, where doctors confirmed his critical condition. The Indian Sun later shared a post on X describing the brutal attack and calling for justice. South Australia Police attended the scene and recorded statements from Singh and witnesses, but have not filed any charges yet as they review CCTV footage and evidence.
Police Yet to File Charges Despite Statements
South Australia Police officers arrived at Kintore Avenue shortly after emergency calls on Saturday night. They spoke with Charanpreet Singh and several witnesses but did not bring any charges immediately afterwards. Friends of Singh said officers told him to return later when he felt better to give a statement.
At the time of writing, he remains hospitalised with his current condition still unknown to the public. Community advocates have criticised the slow response and called for transparent updates on any future charges. Nearby CCTV cameras could offer crucial evidence, but police have not yet confirmed footage review plans.
South Asian Community Groups Speak Out
South Asian community groups in Adelaide immediately condemned the attack and demanded firm action from authorities. Leaders fear Singh\’s case will not receive proper follow-up unless community pressure intensifies significantly. Supporters plan to lodge a written complaint at the Hindley Street police station without delay.
They argue this step will ensure formal recording and possible escalation of the investigation process. Advocates urge South Australia Police to take allegations seriously, given slurs and weapons. Vigils and online campaigns have begun to maintain focus on justice for Singh\’s assault case.
Viral Video Sparks Outrage and Demands for Justice
The viral video of the brutal attack on Charanpreet Singh has triggered widespread outrage across social media. One user commented, “Is this what we have become today in international society? Why are Indians no longer respected despite our Vishwaguru status in the world?” Through this, the user expressed deep disappointment and sorrow over the global treatment of Indians.
Another wrote, “Police will do nothing. They will show apathy. White people who captured and encroached entire nations now don\’t want others to settle there,” to reflect a growing frustration with racial discrimination and a lack of accountability. A user posted, “Australia… what else is expected…” expressing the resignation, hinting at a repeated pattern of such attacks being ignored or overlooked in Australia.
One user pointed out, “Isme car ke number spasht dikhai pad rahe hain, phir kyun police aaropiyon ko pakadne ke liye logon ki madad maang rahi hai?” questioning the delay in action despite clear visual evidence, and expressing scepticism towards the police investigation. Each of these reactions captures the emotional weight carried by the viral video, ranging from grief and disbelief to urgent calls for justice and systemic change.
Viral video evidence demands immediate investigation and justice for Charanpreet Singh. Communities must unite urgently to ensure such attacks do not happen again in public spaces, as shown in the viral video.
