A zero FIR is registered against Ruchika Singh, a 25-year-old woman in Noida, over alleged “objectionable” or “offensive” remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi made during a CJP protest. According to reports, Supreme Court advocate Smriti Singh files the complaint after receiving multiple videos and identifying the accused based on details gathered through the complainant’s materials. The FIR is registered under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita rather than obscenity-related laws. The complaint alleges the language used undermines the Prime Minister’s integrity and relates to threats to public order. The investigation is transferred to Delhi Police, which will review the FIR and examine whether the alleged remarks meet the legal thresholds required for the specific sections invoked. One report also highlights the legal context, noting that courts have narrowed the definition of obscenity over time and that profanity or vulgarity, by themselves, are not necessarily treated as obscenity under Indian law. Police action will therefore depend on how the allegations are assessed under the applicable statutory provisions.
