Four Indian cricket fans will face charges of racially abusing Australian batsman Andrew Symonds with monkey gestures, police in Mumbai said yesterday.
The four were ejected from a one-day international match, which India narrowly won on Wednesday, after officials showed police pictures of the three men and a woman making the racist gestures at Symonds, who is the only black player in the Australian team.
The fans were charged with misbehaviour and harassment and freed on bail to appear in court later. Australian newspapers carried photographs of the Mumbai crowd, clearly showing spectators making offensive gestures.
