In the first video, Renu Chaudhary, an elected councillor of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, was seen berating an African national who works as a football coach training children in a public park in East Delhi. “If you are earning money here, learn to speak Hindi,” she is heard saying, warning that the park could be taken away if the coach does not comply. The video drew criticism online, with users calling the remarks “shameful” and accusing the councillor of disregarding constitutional values in pursuit of political posturing. The clip showed protesters questioning product labelling and warning shopkeepers against continuing sales, reportedly forcing some outlets to shut. While authorities are yet to issue an official statement, multiple social media users flagged concerns over intimidation and the normalisation of mob pressure.
