Woman Booked for Alleged Abusive Remarks Against PM Modi During Delhi Protest
A 25-year-old woman, Ruchika Singh, was booked following a viral video showing her using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on July 23. The complaint, filed by a Ghaziabad resident, led to a Zero FIR registered in Noida and later transferred to Delhi Police. The case involves charges of intentional insult, public mischief, and defamation under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The Cockroach Janta Party and opposition leaders criticized the criminal proceedings, advocating for civil defamation instead. PM Modi called for restraint and forgiveness, while the investigation continues amid debates on free speech and legal limits.
