Teen Apologizes for Abusive Remarks Against PM Modi Amid Ongoing Investigation
A teenage girl, identified as Ruchika Singh, apologized in a viral video for using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. She claimed to be 15 years old and said she was influenced by others at the event. The apology followed Modi's call for forgiveness and guidance rather than punishment for the youths involved. While police continue to investigate, some dispute her age. BJP MP Kangana Ranaut criticized political influences on youth, urging protection of children from certain ideologies. Protest organizers warned of renewed demonstrations if FIRs are not withdrawn.
