A British-born Sikh woman in her 20s was raped and assaulted in broad daylight in West Midlands' Oldbury on September 9, with attackers telling her "go back to your country." West Midlands Police are investigating it as a racially aggravated hate crime. Two white suspects approached the woman around 8:30 AM in a park, with one described as having a shaved head wearing grey hoodie. No arrests made yet. The attack has sparked community outrage amid rising anti-immigration sentiment, with nearly 100,000 joining Tommy Robinson's rally in London. Sikh leaders blame normalized xenophobia post-Brexit, while MP Gurinder Singh Josan calls it "truly horrific." (PC: India Today & Hindustan Times)
