The Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) court in Itanagar has granted bail to the Punjab-based YouTuber Paras Singh.
Earlier the YouTuber was arrested by the Ludhiana police in Punjab on May 26 for making racial remarks against senior Congress MLA Ninong Ering and the people of Arunachal Pradesh.
Following his arrest, Paras was brought to Itanagar on May 27 by a team of SIT from the state.
The court had on May 29 sent the YouTuber to judicial custody for 6 days in Arunachal Pradesh. Paras had made the racial comments while reacting to a letter addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi by Ering recently wherein he had appealed to the latter to ban the relaunch of PUBG Mobile India’s new avatar Battlegrounds Mobile India.
Ering, also a former Lok Sabha member, had reasoned that the game was aimed at deceiving the government and citizens and should be banned in the country.
