Guwahati: Leader of the Tipra Motha Party, Pradyot Manikya Debbarma, condemned the racial insults directed at three women from the Northeast while in Delhi, saying their devotion to the nation deserves acknowledgment, not mockery.
Debbarma shared on social media that despite the contributions of people from Arunachal Pradesh in safeguarding the country, these women faced unwarranted racial attacks. He added that such behavior disrespects the victims and promised that authorities would ensure justice is served.
Debbarma said on X, “It’s because of the patriotism of Arunachalis that not one Chinese soldier can enter our country, yet they have to be subjected to racism and ridicule. This not only hurts but humilates the very essence of where our country is headed. Will see that these women are given due justice”.
Police in South Delhi’s Malviya Nagar area confirmed that a complaint has been filed against two residents for harassing and threatening the women. The FIR references several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) related to offenses against women’s dignity, intimidation, incitement of hostility between communities based on origin, and actions carried out jointly by multiple individuals.
The accused, Harsh Singh and his wife Ruby Jain of Malviya Nagar, reportedly confronted the tenants on February 20 around 3:30 pm. The dispute arose while the women were supervising electrical repairs in their flat, which allegedly caused dust to enter the apartment below. The victims reported emotional distress and embarrassment, but there were no injuries.
Authorities stated that legal proceedings will continue, and the matter will be followed up to ensure accountability.
