'Culprits have been arrested in the racist attacks case'

The Australian police have carried out several arrests in connection with attacks and the same has been publicized in the Australian media, a latest email from the consul general of India in Melbourne said.

The mail, which has been sent to Civil Liberties in Hyderabad in response to the action taken against the attackers, says wide publicity to the arrests has been given in the Australian media, but same has not been done in the Indian media.
