Reacting to a tweet which linked to a Poland local media report, Ms Swaraj said that she has sought details from the Indian ambassador to Poland Ajay Bisaria.
"Preliminary inquiry suggests the student was attacked in a Ponzan tram. But thank god he survived," Mr Bisaria said.
In follow up tweets, Ms Swaraj confirmed the incident and said the Indian government was inquiring the attack from all aspects.
The victim thanked the authorities for the care they provided him, Mr Bisaria later replied to the minister.
