Delhi based content creator Amir Shokeen brought to Agartala

Agartala, Nov 10 (UNI) Delhi-based content creator Amir Shokeen was taken into custody over alleged derogatory comments on social media and brought to Agartala on Tuesday by a special Tripura Police team amid tight security.
West Tripura Additional Superintendent of Police Dhruba Nath said Shokeen was brought to the state on transit remand. He is due to appear in court on Wednesday in connection with an ongoing investigation into a case registered in Tripura.
“An FIR was registered at New Capital Complex (NCC) Police Station over the alleged use of racial slurs against an Indigenous youth from Tripura. We apprehended him and obtained transit remand in Delhi. He will appear in court soon,” Nath said.
A special police team led by Deputy Superintendent of Police Samudra Debbarma travelled to the national capital to take Shokeen into custody for legal proceedings in Tripura. The case stems from a video that circulated widely on social media last month.
The video purportedly shows Shokeen making disparaging comments about a young man from Tripura, including remarks about his appearance and identity. It also contains derogatory references to the state. The video sparked widespread anger across the Northeast. union Minister Kiren Rijiju and Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha, along with political leaders, student organisations and civil society groups, called for stringent action against Shokeen.
The Tripura Students Forum-Delhi approached the police and called for a fair investigation. In response, the Chief Minister directed state police to coordinate with Delhi Police and take the necessary legal action. After a formal complaint and investigation, Delhi Police arrested Shokeen on October 22.
A separate case was registered at NCC Police Station in West Tripura district under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Information Technology Act and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. UNI BB NST CDS
