Toronto : A teenager, who hospitalised a Sikh-American in a racially motivated attack last week, has been charged with hate crime in addition to previous felony charges, a media report said.
DuPage county state Attorney on Tuesday said the teen would be charged for one count of hate crime and a Class four felony for hitting Inderjeet Singh Mukker, Chicago Tribune reported.
The Sikh Coalition, an organisation that works for civil and human rights for all people, provided “additional evidence and information that showed hatred to be the primary motivation behind the crime” in a two-hour meeting on Monday.
