AUS-2NDLD GARG 2LST

The 21-year-old accountancy student from the northern
Indian state of Punjab was stabbed in a local park at
Footscray West in January as he walked to work at a fast food
restaurant.
Earlier this morning, the police questioned the
15-year-old after arresting him at Yarraville, a statement
from the Victorian police said.
Garg suffered stab wounds to his upper body while
walking to the Hungry Jack's restaurant where he worked, on
the corner of Geelong and Somerville roads, about 9.30 pm on
January 2 this year.
He stumbled into the restaurant, bleeding in front of
his workmates, before he died at the scene.
The weapon used in the attack has not been found.
Garg was a resident of Newport suburb and was employed
in a fast food outlet of Hungry Jack.
The breakthrough in the case came as Minister for
Oversees Indian Affairs Vayalar Ravi is touring Australia and
discussed problems faced by the community with Australian
leaders.
The murder had come in the midst of a series of
attacks on Indians in Australia that led to a furore back
home.
The issue was taken up by the Indian government at the
highest level with Krishna condemning the incident and calling
for bringing those responsible to book speedily. PTI NC
