Malviya Nagar racial slur case: Court to decide on bail
A Delhi court is deciding whether to grant bail to Harsh Singh and Ruby Jain, who allegedly used racial slurs against three women from Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur during a fight over AC drilling dust on February 20, 2026, in Malviya Nagar.
The accused reportedly called the women names like momo and gutter chaap, sparking outrage after a video of the incident spread online.
Defense claims heated argument, no intent to target tribal people
Singh and Jain were arrested on February 25 after the video went viral. Police charged them under laws for insulting modesty, criminal intimidation, promoting enmity, and the SC/ST Act.
At their March 9 hearing, defense lawyers said it was just a heated argument with no intent to target tribal people and mentioned Ruby Jain's poor health in jail.
Prosecutors argued that key witnesses haven't been questioned yet and pointed out post-incident intimidation.
Singh has publicly apologized for his words, saying he never meant to hurt anyone.
The court will announce its decision on their bail on March 10.
