Go Back To Your Country: 2 Men Rape Sikh Woman, Hurl Racial Slur In Birmingham

Authorities in the UK are investigating a violent and racially motivated assault on a British-born Sikh woman in her 20s, who was raped and beaten by two white men in Oldbury, near Birmingham, on Tuesday morning.

West Midlands Police confirmed the incident occurred between 8:00 and 8:30 am and is being treated as a racially aggravated crime.

A police spokesperson stated, "The woman has told us that a racist remark was made to her during the attack." According to the Sikh Federation (UK), the assailants reportedly shouted, "You don't belong in this country, get out."

Emergency services were alerted just before 8:30 am on September 9, following the woman's report of the attack near Tame Road. The suspects are described as white males-one with a shaved head and heavy build, wearing a dark sweatshirt and gloves; the other in a grey zipped top, according to a report in The Times of India.

Gurinder Singh Josan MP, whose office is located near the crime scene, condemned the assault as "truly horrific," adding that police are working closely and sensitively with the traumatised victim. "The incident is being treated as a hate crime," he said.

Sikh Youth UK has stepped in to support the woman and her family. Chief Superintendent Kim Madill of Sandwell Police assured the public that extensive efforts are underway to identify the perpetrators, including forensic analysis and CCTV review. "We understand the anger and concern this has caused. While incidents like this are rare, extra patrols will be visible in the area," she said.

The attack follows another racially charged incident on August 15, when two elderly British Sikh taxi drivers-Satnam Singh (64) and Jasbir Sangha (72)-were assaulted outside Wolverhampton station. Singh's turban was forcibly removed during the attack, which British Transport Police are also treating as racially aggravated. Three individuals were arrested and later released on bail.

In response to the recent rape, dozens gathered at the Guru Nanak Gurdwara temple in Smethwick for an emergency meeting. Jas Singh, principal advisor to the Sikh Federation (UK), voiced deep concern: "There is a trend of hatred... the targeting of migrants. As Sikhs, we bear the brunt of prejudice, ignorance, and hate."
