- A 15-year-old girl from Noida was named in an FIR filed on July 29 for allegedly using profanities against Prime Minister Modi during a protest at Jantar Mantar over paper leaks and education reforms.
- Her lawyer says she and her mother, whose address was leaked in the FIR details, have had to move homes three times after receiving rape and death threats and visits from strangers and police personnel.
- The lawyer has questioned the FIR, saying the girl was only 14 when the complaint was filed, and noted the FIR does not mention her age.
- The girl and her mother have publicly apologised, and Noida Police transferred the zero FIR to Delhi, which has not registered any case.
What to watch next
- Whether Delhi Police registers a case or takes action after receiving the transferred zero FIR
- Whether legal challenges to the FIR, given the girl's age at the time of the complaint, lead to action against her or withdrawal of the case
- Continued safety concerns for the girl and her mother, including whether her leaked address leads to further harassment
