The All-Assam Tribal Students Union (AATSU) has called for a thorough investigation into an incident where a couple in New Delhi allegedly hurled racial slurs at three women from Arunachal Pradesh. The couple has been arrested and remanded to 14 days of judicial custody while the Delhi Police investigate. AATSU expressed deep concern about the incident that occurred in Malviya Nagar, describing it as a serious act of racial hostility stemming from a minor dispute. Reports and video footage indicate that the women faced verbal abuse, racial stereotypes, and humiliation. AATSU condemned this behavior as a violation of constitutional values, undermining dignity and equality, which affects not just the victims but all Northeastern citizens. The union has urged the police to conduct an impartial inquiry, verify video evidence, and take strict legal action against those found guilty under relevant laws.
