Desi couple spat at during train ride in Scotland

LONDON: An Indian couple holidaying in Scotland was spat at while travelling on a train in what police are treating as a racist crime. The couple, in their 60s, who split their time between Dhanbad and Delhi, was visiting their son Saurav Anand, who works at Royal Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh.
"It was the most racist, embarrassing and humiliating incident of my life. I don't think my parents ever want to come back to Scotland," Anand said. The incident took place on Saturday when Anand's mother Sheila and father Arbind Kumar were travelling on a train from Edinburgh to Armadale with him and his Polish girlfriend.
"A man in his 40s and a younger man aged around 17 kept staring at us. The older of two at one point even stuck his tongue out at my dad. They got off the next station and when the train started moving, the younger one came up to the window where we were sitting and said something while looking at my dad. He then spat at us through the window. I got up and shouted at him but the train had already moved. It all happened in a split second."
A spokeswoman for British Transport Police said: "Officers received a report of a racially aggravated incident. Inquiries are on."
