FIR Registered Against Woman For Obscene Remarks Against PM Modi At Jantar Mantar

A significant legal action has been initiated following a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, where a young woman has been booked for making obscene and derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The incident, which took place during a student-led demonstration on July 23, 2026, has led to the registration of a Zero FIR at the Expressway Police Station in Noida. The authorities took notice of the abusive language used against the Prime Minister during the protest, leading to the identification and subsequent legal action against the individual involved. The complaint filed in this matter emphasizes that the woman's actions have severely undermined the dignity and sanctity of the constitutional office held by the Prime Minister. The police have invoked several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) to address the gravity of the offense. Specifically, the case has been registered under BNS Section 352, Section 353(1), and Section 356(1). These legal provisions are being applied to investigate the nature of the remarks and the intent behind them, as the authorities aim to uphold the respect due to high-ranking constitutional figures.

Delhi Government's Stance on Protesters

In a parallel development, the Delhi Government has announced a specific policy regarding the legal consequences for those who participated in the protest, while the government has decided that no adverse legal action will be taken against individuals involved in the demonstration, provided they don't have a prior criminal record or criminal antecedents. This decision aligns with the directives issued by the Supreme Court regarding the handling of protesters. For those who were arrested or detained during the course of the protest at Jantar Mantar, the Delhi Government has initiated a review process, while the cases of these individuals will be carefully examined, and the process for their prompt release will be set in motion if they meet the criteria of having no previous criminal history. The government has made it clear that it doesn't intend to pursue further adverse actions against these participants, and the matter concerning them will be considered closed. No new proceedings will be initiated against this specific group of protesters in the future, marking a clear distinction between general participants and those accused of specific criminal acts or having a history of such behavior.

Delhi Police Action Against Objectionable Content

Beyond the immediate incident at Jantar Mantar, the Delhi Police has also taken broader action against the dissemination of objectionable content on social media platforms. FIRs have been registered against posts targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other constitutional heads. The police have reached out to social media giants, including X (formerly Twitter) and other platforms, through formal letters. These communications request the removal of the offensive content and seek detailed information about the users responsible for posting such material. According to sources, much of this objectionable content was shared during the protest organized by the Cockroach Janta Party at Jantar Mantar. The Delhi Police, in their notice to an internet media platform, highlighted that the spread of such content has caused serious damage to the reputation, dignity, and public image of the Prime Minister. The police expressed concern that the continued availability of such content could lead to a breakdown in law and order, spark unnecessary political controversies, and erode public trust in constitutional institutions. The authorities are closely monitoring the situation to prevent any further escalation of tensions arising from these digital posts.
