Veterans of the Tripura police have publicly denounced an influencer they say harassed Delhi youth on racial grounds, calling for swift action from authorities.
A group of former police personnel from Tripura voiced strong criticism against a social media influencer they allege targeted young people in Delhi with racial harassment. The veterans said the influencer's remarks and online content were discriminatory and could incite communal tensions.
In a joint statement, the ex‑officers urged law‑enforcement agencies in the capital to investigate the matter and take appropriate legal action. They emphasized that any form of hate speech or harassment, especially on platforms with wide reach, undermines social harmony.
The veterans also called on civil society and media to highlight the issue, urging a broader discussion on online hate and the responsibilities of influencers. No official response from the influencer or the Delhi police has been reported at the time of writing.
The incident has sparked debate on the regulation of digital content and the role of former law‑enforcement officials in advocating for community protection.
