Indian journo attacked in Oz during scam probe

Melbourne, Jul 27: A young Indian journalist was threatened and attacked in Australia after going undercover to reveal migration and education scams for 'Four Corners' program of ABC TV.

The woman, working as a reporter with ABC TV was subjected to threats during the making of the program and was attacked over the weekend.

An article in ABC website said that the reporter went to two different immigration agents posting as a customer wanting to pass an English Language Test without having the skills and told them that she was willing to buy a fake work certificate. She was able to do both if she paid between $3,000 and $5,000.

The report also said it was not clear whether the migration agents or the colleges identified in the 'Four Corners' programme were behind either the threats or the attack.
