Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu strongly denounced the racial abuse suffered by three women from the state in South Delhi. He urged the Delhi Police Commissioner to promptly and strictly address the issue. Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, along with other political figures, also condemned the incident and demanded severe action against the perpetrators.
CM Khandu expressed his dismay on social media platform X, emphasizing that such behavior is intolerable in society. He communicated with the Delhi Police Commissioner immediately after learning about the incident, ensuring that the accused, who are currently on the run, will be apprehended and dealt with according to the law. The safety, dignity, and justice for the three women are a top priority.
Meghalaya CM Sangma highlighted the need to address racial discrimination and sexual harassment against women from the North East. He called for stringent actions against those responsible for outraging the modesty of a resident doctor from Nagaland. The incident involving the three women from Arunachal Pradesh reportedly occurred due to a dispute with their neighbors over repair work at their flat, leading to racial slurs and humiliation.
Reports indicated that the women faced derogatory remarks and racial abuse from their neighbors in Malviya Nagar. The situation escalated following objections from neighbors regarding drilling work in the women’s flat. The Delhi Police registered an FIR against the couple involved, citing various legal provisions related to outraging a woman’s modesty and promoting enmity based on religion and race.
