An Indian Mob Threatened to Skin an Australian Man

An Indian Mob Threatened to Skin an Australian Man for His Hindu Goddess Tattoo
He was let off only after writing a letter of apology at a police station

An Australian man was accosted in the Indian city of Bangalore over the weekend after a group of people became incensed that he had a tattoo of an Indian goddess on his shin.

Matthew Gordon, a law student at Australia’s Deakin University, was then taken with his girlfriend to a local police station and only released after penning a letter of apology, the Associated Press reported.

“One of them came to me and confronted me about my tattoo,” the 21-year-old, who was having lunch with his girlfriend and a local friend at a restaurant when the incident took place, told the Hindu newspaper Sunday night. “Soon, they surrounded us and threatened to skin my leg and remove the tattoo.”

According to Gordon, even the policeman whom the gathered mob called to the restaurant while preventing the trio from leaving, berated him for sporting the artwork.

“A policeman arrived and said this is India and one couldn’t sport such a tattoo on the leg,” he recounted.

A video uploaded to YouTube shows angry men haranguing the couple while Gordon and his local friend try to reason with the policeman, and Gordon later denounced their treatment in a Facebook post that deemed his letter of apology “forced.”

“I should not have to apologise for what is on my skin and be put in a traumatising situation where it is apparently acceptable to be harassed, threatened and mobbed,” he wrote.

The Australian High Commission said it was “concerned” about the incident and was in touch with local authorities through the country’s embassy in the Indian city of Chennai. “The Australian government encourages Australians traveling abroad to research and respect local customs and laws,” a High Commission spokesperson told the Indian
