According to reports in Denver media, hateful messages and racial slurs were sprawled all over the home of the Indian man.
The homeowner said around 50 papers were stuck everywhere on his door, window and car, adding that the unidentified group had thrown at least 40 eggs at his house.
He said racial slur like ‘You brown or Indian shouldn’t be here’ was also written outside the house.
The homeowner says despite the hate, he was reminded of compassion. He says his neighbours came together and completely cleaned up the house for him.
Earlier, an Indian engineer was shot dead in Kansas in an alleged racial attack after the gunman was heard shouting “get out of my country”.
