Australian captain Ricky Ponting says the latest racial abuse of Andrew Symonds by Indian fans is embarrassing for members of the cricket-crazed country.
Spectators were kicked out of Wankhede Stadium for making monkey noises and impersonations towards Symonds during his one-ball innings in yesterday's dead rubber in Mumbai.
The allrounder received an extremely hostile reception, taunted and booed by the crowd to and from the crease in the day-night match.
Ponting said the behaviour wasn't acceptable.
"Some of the other stuff that went on today was totally unnecessary," said Ponting.
"I just hope that that does not happen again in another cricket venue that I play in because it leaves a bad taste in everybody's mouth.
"I am sure there will be a lot of embarrassed people around this country as well to know that this stuff has happened again at one of their cricket venues.
"It is done now, hopefully in the Twenty20 match on Saturday it does not happen there."
Security officials at the ground met Australian team officials and witnesses of the offensive behaviour to pinpoint the perpetrators in the crowd.
Mumbai fans have developed a reputation for hurling racist obscenities at visiting players and the ICC anti-racism code was flashed up on the big screen as Symonds walked out to bat.
He was named man of the series in the post-match awards ceremony but did not attend the subsequent press conference.
The poor behaviour has finally prompted the Indian cricket board (BCCI) into action after initially denying anything had occurred in Vadodara.
Symonds has become an unpopular figure in India during the current tour.
He criticised the Indian team for their celebrations after last month's triumph at the Twenty20 world championships in South Africa.
He also became embroiled in a series of fiery exchanges with Shantha Sreesanth in the second game in Cochin and pasted the Indian bowlers during the series, scoring 365 runs at 73 at more than a run a ball.
A joint statement was released by BCCI president Sharad Pawar and Cricket Australia chairman Creagh O'Connor after today's events.
"There is no place for racism in cricket, either on or off the field," the statement read.
The pair said racism was a global problem and not confined to specific nations.
"Cricket crowds in all cricket nations are often noisy and boisterous, which is part of the fun of cricket," they said.
"But all cricket nations have to be on guard to ensure that the fun does not cross the boundary into unacceptable behaviour.
"If it does, it is our expectation that the specifics of the ICC anti-racism code be enforced without fear or favour.
"Player of all countries have a right to expect they will be treated with respect where ever they play in the world."
Australia's tour of India concludes with Saturday's one-off Twenty20 clash at Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium.

Racism has raised its ugly head for the second time in the Australia-India series with fans making monkey noises and impersonations during Andrew Symonds' one-ball innings in Mumbai.
The allrounder was racially taunted and heavily booed by the crowd on his way to and from the crease at Wankhede Stadium.
An Australian photographer captured and witnessed the latest bout of racial abuse from spectators on the tour of India after the problems first emerged in Vadodara last week.
Mumbai fans have a reputation for racist abuse towards visiting players and the ICC anti-racism code was flashed up on the big screen as Symonds walked out to bat.
He was caught by Tendulkar off Murali Kartik for a first ball duck and was handed another hostile reception as he trudged from the field.
Symonds has become public enemy No.1 on this tour, having firstly criticised the Indian team for carrying on during their celebrations following last month's triumph at the Twenty20 world championships in South Africa.
He also became embroiled in a series of fiery exchanges with Shantha Sreesanth in the second game in Cochin and has pasted the Indian bowlers during the series.
It was initially thought that little would come out of the abuse towards Symonds in Vadodara particularly as the Australian team has not made a formal complaint.
The Indian cricket board (BCCI) denied the incident even took place to the disappointment of Symonds, who wasn't initially fazed by the taunts.
However the antics are expected to put major pressure on the Indian cricket board and the International Cricket Council (ICC) to clamp down on crowd behaviour in the cricket-crazed country.
The ICC formalised a stringent anti-racism policy last November following accusations from South African players of racial abuse from Australian fans during the 2005/06 season.
A joint statement was released by BCCI president Sharad Pawar and Cricket Australia chairman Creagh O'Connor condemning the behaviour of the spectators.
"There is no place for racism in cricket, either on or off the field," the statement read.
The pair said racism is a global problem and not confined to specific nations.
"Cricket crowds in all cricket nations are often noisy and boisterous, which is part of the fun of cricket," they said in the statement.
"But all cricket nations have to be on guard to ensure that the fun does not cross the boundary into unacceptable behaviour.
"If it does, it is our expectation that the specifics of the ICC anti-racism code be enforced without fear or favour.
"Players of all countries have a right to expect they will be treated with respect wherever they play in the world."
