YOUTHS from the southern suburbs have been linked to a violent gang whose members have attacked two Indians.
The group calls itself KMC, an abbreviation for “kill more curries” - or as the gang has misspelt it, “cause more chaos”.
The teenagers are based in and around Clayton South.
One alleged member, a 15-year-old, last week pleaded guilty at a Children’s Court to a charge of affray over the bashing of two Indian men at Oakleigh station.
The court heard the boy was part of a group that taunted an Indian man before pushing him and later punching him in the face.
Another man, who tried to intervene during the incident on December 4, 2008, sustained a broken jaw and was kicked repeatedly after falling to the ground.
Magistrate Luisa Bazzani warned the youth he was “on the path to self-destruction”.
“It (the attack) is cowardly and pathetic,” Ms Bazzani said.
“You will end up with a lifetime of jail.”
The boy escaped conviction and was given a nine-month probation order after he presented a letter to the magistrate acknowledging the effect his case had had on his mother and vowing to change his ways.
Police would not comment on the existence of the KMC gang because there were related matters still before the courts.
The news comes in the wake of regular reports of attacks against Melbourne’s Indian community, which have attracted international criticism.
Federation of Indian Associations of Victoria president Vasan Srinivasan said he believed some youths were copying things they had seen and read in the media.
Mr Srinivasan said they were “jumping on the bandwagon” and needed to be educated.
“As a community we should get together to help the younger generation that need some support,” he said.
“If you really ask them, they wouldn’t have any link to this (Indian) community.”
