A Sikh restaurateur living in Australia for 15 years, has been left shaken after he found excrement smeared on his car for several days in a row and racist letters that told him, go home, Indian.

Jarnail ‘Jimmy’ Singh, who runs ‘Dawat – The Invitation’ restaurant in Hobart, Tasmania, said he has been continuously targeted for over the last two, three months.

It’s mentally very stressful when it comes to your house, and particularly (being targeted) with your name on it… It’s too much mental stress. Something has to be done, Singh told to source on Tuesday.

Singh first assumed the letter had been written by a young person, and did his best to ignore it, according to the report.

Recounting the first incident, he said dog excrement was smeared on the door handles of his car for four or five days in a row, followed by a racist letter in his driveway, telling him go home, Indian.

While the incidents were brought to the notice of police and video cameras were installed at his property, the spiteful letters continued to arrive.

He told to source that the next letter was received about a month later, and it was even more offensive than the first — including comments like you can **** off back to India. His car was also scratched outside his workplace.

This kind of thing has to be stopped. Definitely, we do need a change, Singh rued.

Tasmania Police Commander Jason Elmer said in a statement that the incidents had been reported to police and were being investigated.
