Aamir Shaukeen Faces FIR After Racist Video Mocking Tripura Youth Goes Viral
Influencer Aamir Shaukeen faces an FIR after a viral video mocking a Tripura youth sparks outrage. Police are now searching for the absconding creator.
Popular content creator Aamir Shaukeen has landed in serious legal trouble after a video featuring racist remarks and the mocking of a young man from Tripura surfaced online. The Aamir Shaukeen racist video triggered a wave of indignation across Northeast India, leading to a formal police complaint and a manhunt for the influencer.
Outrage Sparks Legal Action
The controversy erupted when a video showing Shaukeen targeting a youth from Tripura in Delhi began circulating on social media. The content, which many viewed as derogatory and hateful, quickly went viral, drawing condemnation from various quarters in the Northeast.
Taking a stand against the abuse, the Youth Tipra Federation filed a formal complaint. Suraj Debbarma, the president of the youth wing of the Tipra Motha party, has accused the influencer of engaging in racial harassment, cyberbullying, and spreading hate speech.
The 'Scripted' Defense and Police Response
As the backlash intensified, Shaukeen took to Instagram to post an apology video. In his defense, he claimed that the interaction seen in the viral clip was "scripted" and not intended to be malicious. However, this explanation did little to appease the aggrieved parties or the authorities.
The Tripura police have officially registered an FIR against the content creator. The Inspector General of Police has confirmed that the law will take its course and strict action will be initiated against Shaukeen. Current reports suggest that the influencer is absconding, and police are actively working to locate him.
High-Level Government Intervention
The incident has caught the attention of top government officials, who have expressed their disapproval of the racial slurs.
- Kiren Rijiju: The Central Parliamentary Affairs Minister condemned the act on social media, asserting that law enforcement agencies would ensure the accused learns a "harsh lesson."
- Manik Saha: The Chief Minister of Tripura has personally intervened, instructing the state Director General of Police (DGP) to coordinate closely with the Delhi Police to ensure a comprehensive investigation.
Inter-State Police Cooperation
While the Delhi Police initially stated that no formal complaints had been received at their end, the gravity of the situation has led to an escalation. The matter is now being handled through inter-state police cooperation to address the allegations of racial abuse and ensure that the accused is brought to justice.
