Teen’s mother upset as FIR remains, CJP says it will not be withdrawn despite PM’s forgiveness
The mother of a 15‑year‑old who shouted abusive slogans at Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the anti‑NEET protest says the FIR against her child is still active, even after a public apology and the PM’s statement of forgiveness.
When a 15‑year‑old girl let loose a string of vulgar remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Jantar Mantar protest on July 23, the incident quickly turned into a media circus. The girl, swept up in the heat of a demonstration over the leaked NEET exam paper, later posted an apologetic video, calling it her “first and last mistake.”
Mr Modi, in a late‑night Instagram message, said he was hurt that even his late mother’s name had been dragged into the slur, but he also urged the public to forgive the “misguided children.” He added that the youth needed guidance, not punishment.
Despite the apology and the Prime Minister’s stated forgiveness, the family’s relief was short‑lived. The mother, speaking to the press on Sunday, said she still receives relentless queries from journalists and that the FIR lodged at a Noida police station – later transferred to Parliament Street Police Station in Delhi – has not been withdrawn.
Lawyer Ratna Singh, who heads the legal wing of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), tried to calm the situation. “On behalf of the CJP, I assured the mother that no legal action will be taken against her daughter. We will provide any counselling or support she needs,” Singh wrote on X. She added that the party would stand ready to help if any further assistance were required.
The FIR, initially registered as a “Zero FIR,” alleges the teenager used derogatory slogans directed at the Prime Minister and his late mother. While the police have not publicly announced any move to drop the case, the CJP’s spokespersons – including Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal – have repeatedly emphasized that the matter should be resolved without a criminal trail.
The mother, meanwhile, expressed gratitude for Mr Modi’s “forgiveness,” saying it felt like a new lease on life for her daughter. “Today is her birthday, and the Prime Minister has given her the greatest gift – a chance to live again,” she told PTI, echoing the emotional tone of many Indian families caught in the cross‑fire of politics and protest.
As the debate over the NEET paper leak continues to simmer, the episode underscores how a single outburst can spiral into legal drama, media frenzy, and a public conversation about youth, anger, and accountability.
