Three cab drivers and a pizza delivery boy have been attacked in Brisbane in separate incidents, according to Australia's Sky News. One of the cab drivers was allegedly punched and dragged out of his taxi, says the channel. The pizza delivery boy was allegedly beaten with a cricket bat and robbed at the home of somebody who ordered a pizza.  

Australia media is also reporting that six Indian students were attacked in their own home in Melbourne on Tuesday, which was India's Republic Day. A group of Australians allegedly stormed into the house. One Indian student was allegedly hit by a baseball bat, another's hand was cut with a knife. In the brawl that followed, the Indian students damaged their attackers' car. When the Indians went to the police to file a complaint, they ended up with a case against them for damaging the Australians' car.

 News of these attacks comes a day after India's Foreign Minister, S M Krishna, met his Australian counterpart in London.  

Speaking to NDTV, Krishna explained that he had told Australia to contain the "unprovoked attacks" that have targeted Indians recently. Last year, more than a 100 Indians were allegedly assaulted in Australia.  This year, the attacks have continued. (Watch: Contain unprovoked attacks, says Krishna to Oz)

Krishna says that a dossier given to him by the Australian government on the attacks does not discuss whether they are racist in nature.  

Under pressure from India, Australia has also set up a special committee to investigate the attacks. It will meet for the first time at the end of this week.
