Hindu priest's family attacked in UK
2009-06-27 (Saturday), Times of India
LONDON: Northern Ireland police have beefed up security at the Indian Community Centre in North Belfast after family of a Hindu priest came under
racial attack by a gang of youths.

Though the family said they are frightened after the June 15 attack on them, they have decided to stay back at the centre following assurances from the police.

The priest, who lives with his wife and two children in the centre, said at one stage they were planning to leave the area.

The priest's wife was alone in the house when the attack took place on the night of June 15. A gang of youth reportedly tried to break down the front door and threw stones.

Bidit Dey, office manager at the centre said, "police did not actually stop by or call in to see her after the attack." He, however, declined to give name of the priest or his family.

A police spokeswoman on Saturday said a police unit patrolled the area in response to the reports of the attack but did not enter the building itself.
