Ruchika Singh Charged Over Abusive Remarks Against PM Modi at Jantar Mantar Protest
On 23 July 2026, during a Cockroach Janta Party‑led protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, 25‑year‑old Ruchika Singh allegedly used abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A Zero FIR was filed at the Expressway Police Station in Noida under sections 352, 353(1) and 356(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, citing intent to insult the constitutional office, provoke breach of peace and cause public mischief. The complaint was lodged by Supreme Court advocate Smriti Singh of Ghaziabad. The FIR was later transferred to Parliament Street Police Station in Delhi for further investigation. Singh posted a viral apology video claiming she was only 15, saying she was “influenced” by the crowd and asking the nation for forgiveness. Police have declared her absconding and are searching for her. Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson Saurav Das criticised the FIR as a misuse of criminal machinery, while Prime Minister Modi publicly forgave the youth involved, urging guidance rather than punishment.
