Melbourne: Indian students poured out on Melbourne streets demanding action against the recent racial attacks on them.

The peaceful protest rally organised by the Indian students community is now heading to its endpoint.

The rally started from The Royal Melbourne Hospital, where Shravan Kumar, a student from Hyderabad, was attacked and is fighting for his life.

In the latest, doctors have taken Shravan Kumar off the ventilator, but he is still not out of danger.

The recent attacks like the one on Indian student Baljinder Singh and four brutal ones in May alone prompted the Indian students to take out a peace rally in Melbourne.

A candle light vigil will also be held in support for the recent victims of crime.
