Delhi Police sources stated that no formal criminal case has been registered against a minor who allegedly made derogatory remarks and used expletives against Prime Minister Narendra Modi near Jantar Mantar, according to reports published by NDTV and The Wire India. The incident, which drew widespread public attention, sparked intense political debate regarding youth discourse, online threats, and the response of law enforcement agencies.
Police Response and Investigation Status
According to updates from Delhi Police sources cited by NDTV, authorities have chosen not to file a criminal case against the minor involved in the incident. The decision comes despite the circulation of a video showing the teenager making controversial remarks directed at the Prime Minister.
However, subsequent reports highlighted security and safety concerns surrounding the teenager. According to The Wire India, the minor disclosed receiving online rape threats following the circulation of the video.
Family Reactions and Public Statements
The teenager’s mother addressed the incident publicly, offering apologies and expressing remorse for the remarks. According to reports from The Times of India and The Indian Express, the mother of the Noida teen thanked Prime Minister Modi for what she described as granting her daughter a new life (“jeevandaan”), interpreting the lack of punitive police action as an act of forgiveness.
In statements covered by The Indian Express, the mother appealed to the Prime Minister directly, expressing a desire for him to “adopt her” daughter to ensure her safety and guidance moving forward. The emotional appeal contrasted sharply with the polarized political reactions that followed the initial video release.
Political Repercussions and Broader Debate
The incident triggered a broader political clash between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and opposition parties. According to Telegraph India, opposition parties seized on the episode to criticize the BJP’s messaging regarding youth conduct, reminding the ruling party of past instances where its own supporters engaged in aggressive rhetoric or abusive online behavior that drew demands for apologies.
