Influencer Aamir Shaukeen Booked After Viral Video Humiliates Tripura Youth
Delhi Police register a case against influencer Aamir Shaukeen for harassing a Tripura youth. Family members also allege a history of crime.
A wave of outrage has swept across social media after a video surfaced showing a youth from Tripura being subjected to harassment and humiliation. In response to the public outcry, the Delhi Police on Thursday registered a formal case against popular social media influencer Aamir Shaukeen at the Sadar Bazar police station.
Serious Legal Charges Filed
The Delhi Police have booked Shaukeen under several stringent sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The charges include:
- Section 192: Wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot.
- Section 196: Promoting enmity between different groups.
- Section 352: Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace.
- Section 353: Statements conducing to public mischief.
The investigation revealed that this is not Shaukeen's first brush with the law. He reportedly has a prior criminal record under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), involving charges of voluntarily causing hurt, using dangerous weapons, intentional insult, and criminal intimidation.
Tripura Police Join the Investigation
The incident has sparked a response far beyond the national capital. The Tripura Police have also registered an FIR and have dispatched a special team to Delhi to coordinate with local authorities and ensure a thorough investigation.
Tripura Director General of Police (DGP) GS Rao confirmed that the authorities took immediate cognisance of the video. Speaking to ANI, DGP Rao stated that both the victim and the perpetrator have been identified. He further mentioned that he has personally coordinated with senior Delhi Police officials to expedite the process, asserting that strict legal action will be taken against everyone involved.
Family Members Expose 'Dark Side' of Influencer
As the legal net tightens, shocking allegations have emerged from within Shaukeen's own family. His brother, Mohammed Wasim Raja, has publicly distanced himself from the influencer, claiming that the family severed all ties with him over a decade ago.
Wasim Raja described his brother as a "miscreant" and alleged that Shaukeen is involved in several illegal activities, including:
- Running extortion rackets.
- Illegally grabbing family property.
- Forcefully occupying lands across the national capital.
Raja further alleged that Shaukeen frequently associates with various political workers to facilitate these unlawful activities. This family testimony adds a new layer to the ongoing investigation as the Delhi Police continue to probe the influencer's conduct.
