CRPF Officer Sonia Sehrawat Faces Scrutiny Over Instagram Post Amid CJP Protests
Sonia Sehrawat, an Assistant Commandant in the CRPF's Rapid Action Force, became a focal point after being injured during the July 20 Cockroach Janata Party protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. A day later, an Instagram Story allegedly from her account, depicting protesters as 'cockroaches' with the caption "Can't fix themselves and they wanna fix the country," sparked widespread criticism and internal scrutiny. Sehrawat denied any intentional assault by her team during the protests. The CRPF is reportedly seeking her explanation regarding possible social media guideline violations amid ongoing investigations.
