The Delhi Police has arrested a woman in connection with a case of racial abuse and insulting language against three of her neighbours from the Northeast in south Delhi’s Malviya Nagar area, an officer said on Wednesday.
Ruby Jain was taken into custody following an investigation in the FIR registered at Malviya Nagar Police Station.
According to the police, Jain allegedly hurled abusive and derogatory remarks at three women from Arunachal Pradesh during a row over repair work at their rented accommodation on February 20.
The police have invoked the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in the FIR.
They said the case was initially registered under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, invoking charges of criminal intimidation, insult to the modesty of women, and promoting enmity between groups.
“The investigation has now been entrusted to an ACP-rank officer after SC-ST Act added and is being closely supervised by senior officials,” the police said in a statement.
The role of a male, accused in the FIR, is also being examined.
The arrest follows examination of video recordings and statements of witnesses that indicated racially charged remarks were made during the altercation, the police said.
