Zero FIR Registered Against Woman for Alleged Abusive Remarks Against PM Modi at Protest
A Zero FIR was registered against 25-year-old Ruchika Singh for allegedly making abusive remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on July 23. The complaint, filed by Supreme Court advocate Smriti Singh, cited sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita related to insult, public mischief, and defamation. The case was transferred from Noida to Delhi Police for investigation. The Cockroach Janta Party criticized the criminal proceedings, advocating civil defamation instead, while opposition leaders condemned the FIR as an attempt to silence dissent.
