The police in Arunachal Pradesh have sought an update from their Punjab counterparts on a YouTuber wanted for a racial slur against a Congress MLA of the State.
Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu said on May 24 that FIRs had been filed against Punjab-based YouTuber Paras Singh for mocking MLA Ninong Ering over his appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a ban on Battlegrounds Mobile India, a variant of PUBG.
The YouTuber also made a racist remark against the State and its people, the multiple FIRs said.
“We are working in close coordination with the Punjab police and are awaiting an update from them,” Director-General of Police R.P. Upadhyaya said.
