Assault by inflammable liquid

Now here's a crime you don't see every day in Australia:

An Indian man is in hospital after being set on fire in the street in Melbourne early this morning.

Jaspreet Singh, 29, was attacked in Essendon in Melbourne's north-west shortly before 2.00am (AEDT).

He had just come home from a dinner party with his wife and went to park his car when four men poured fluid over him and set him alight.

It's almost like someone is trying to even the score -- over 100,000 women burn to death in India every year. Jeez, are sub-continental women accident prone, or what?
