The Delhi Police’s Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit has taken a social media influencer into custody following the circulation of a video that sparked widespread outrage. In the footage, the influencer is seen making derogatory comments directed at a man from the northeastern state of Tripura. The incident has drawn significant attention to the issue of racial discrimination against people from India's northeastern regions living in metropolitan areas.

The victim, identified as Reang, stated in an interview that he was entirely unaware he was being recorded during the interaction. He noted that he only became aware of the video's existence after a friend sent him the clip, which had already begun to circulate on social media platforms. The IFSO unit, which handles cases involving cyber-related offenses and social media content, is currently leading the investigation into the nature of the abuse captured in the recording.

While the arrest has been confirmed by authorities, the specific legal charges filed against the influencer remain part of the ongoing police investigation. The case has reignited public discourse regarding the treatment of individuals from the Northeast in the capital, with many calling for stricter enforcement of laws against racial harassment. The influencer has not yet issued a public statement regarding the arrest, and the investigation is expected to continue as police review the digital evidence.
