Delhi Police Files FIR Against Influencer for Racial Comments on Tripura Man
Delhi Police has filed an FIR against influencer Aamir Shaukeen for alleged racial abuse of a Tripura resident in a viral video.
New Delhi, October 22 (Daily Kiran) : The Delhi Police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against social media influencer Aamir Shaukeen following allegations of racial abuse. The case stems from a viral video in which Shaukeen allegedly makes derogatory remarks about a man from Tripura.
Shaukeen, a resident of Delhi, faces charges under several sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 192, 196, 352, and 353. Reports indicate that he has faced legal action previously under sections 323, 324, 504, and 506 of the IPC.
The formal complaint was lodged by the Tripura Students Forum in Delhi, which urged the police to take immediate action regarding the video. The complaint highlights that the influencer’s behavior included sexual harassment and abusive conduct towards the Tripura resident.
The forum specifically pointed out that the video contained racially derogatory terms such as “chinky” and “Chinese,” which they argue not only insult the individual involved but also demean the entire community from Tripura.
In their complaint, they stated, “Using such terms to belittle or insult someone based on their ethnic or regional identity raises serious concerns about racial prejudice, dignity, and equal treatment.”
The incident gained further attention when Union Minister Kiren Rijiju addressed the issue on social media. Following this, the Tripura police initiated legal proceedings against Shaukeen for his alleged racial remarks.
