A German man was sentenced to eight-month in prison for leading a racist attack on the Indians in August, local reports said Tuesday.
The 23-year-old man, who led the attack on the Indians during a festival in the eastern German town of Muegeln, was convicted of incitement to racial hatred, German news agency DPA reported.
Three other Germans have been fined for their role in the violence, said the report.
The excavator driver had earlier admitted the assault but denied any racist motive.
Witnesses said about 50 Germans chased the Indian nationals in the attack that left fourteen people injured, including the eight Indians and two policeman.
Prosecutors said they did not have enough evidence to charge other suspects.
