Tosha Thakkar

When Australian authorities were assuring India that no more attacks will happen on Indians who are in Australia, a new news came up of an 24 year old girl who was raped then killed and then was packed inside a suitcase which was then thrown into the canal in Croydon, Victoria. The Sydney Morning Herald says that she might not have been dead before he packed her in suitcase.


After the series of racial and otherwise criminal attacks on Indians, the number of Indian population has decreased and the arrival of new Indian students in Australian university has also gone down by 80% which resulted into a huge loss for the Universities there and Education tourism in Australia.


The victim has been identified as Indian student Tosha Thakkar who is originally from Gujarat, India, was studying accounting at the Sydney College of Business and IT. Police is now waiting for the results of a post-mortem examination to find how she died. Friends and Family of the girl said they have no idea of why she was killed. 


Police has arrested 19-year-old Daniel Stani-Reginald, one of the person with whom she shared a house, in connection with the murder. The accused was questioned and charged with murder and aggravated sexual assault. Though there are no reports of why he did such an act, whether there was a conflict with her or he just made her his random victim is not sure. This is the question everybody would be asking in India because those who know her know it very well that she can not deserve such an inhuman treatment, not only her but no girl or even a man deserve such a treatment, World community asking only one question, why Australian government is so ineffective in controlling crime in the country? It is not the first time something like this is happening.


Instead of controlling crime Australian Government is coming up with suggestions like don't use iPod and other costly gadgets in public travel which can provoke some criminals to steal from you. If that is going to work then of course Indians will cooperate, but still they will be asking you to do your part, we will do ours.

Meanwhile External affairs minister of India Mr. S M Krishna on Monday, 14th March, 2011 described it as "unfortunate" and said the government is closely following the investigation. 

"This is a very very unfortunate incident. We are getting a report from our ambassador," Krishna said. "We are closely following and monitoring the investigation."
