Is word 'chinki' notified as casteist remark, HC asks CBI
The Delhi HC asked the CBI to check if 'chinki', a word used to refer to people from northeast India, has been notified as casteist remark under SC/ST laws. The court sought clarification after it was informed there was no such government notification. It was hearing pleas against a lower court's decision acquitting people accused of beating a northeast student.
