Social media influencer Paras Singh, arrested in May for racial slur against the State’s Congress MLA, said he was going back home enlightened about the Northeast. YouTuber Paras Singh, who was granted bail by a court in Arunachal Pradesh capital Itanagar on June 11, said he was touched by the love and care from the people of the State he had derided in one of his videos. “I realised I made a great mistake and hurt the sentiments of the people of Arunachal Pradesh and the Northeast. Mr. Singh said Arunachal Pradesh gave him the opportunity to learn a lot of good things about the State and its people. He said he had very little knowledge about Arunachal Pradesh, its people and the State’s size prior to his outburst on YouTube.
