However, it was not mentioned by the advisory if the attacks on Indian students appeared to be racially motivated. The Indian students have been advised by the CGI to be in touch with each other, especially when they go out. The students were also advised to spread information about the areas where they have experienced "such incidents". This is to be done just to avoid such areas and the CGI mainly focused on among other students from India.

A detailed report about the incidents, has been received, said External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in New Delhi. Swaraj said the situation was personally being monitored by her and asked the students not to worry.
