On May 28, 2025, the Supreme Court of India upheld its stay on the arrest of Madhya Pradesh Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah, who faces legal scrutiny for derogatory remarks made against Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, a decorated Indian Army officer known for her leadership during Operation Sindoor. The apex court also concluded the suo motu proceedings initiated by the Madhya Pradesh High Court, which had previously ordered the registration of an FIR against Shah, describing his comments as "gutter language." Despite Shah's video apology labeling his remarks a "linguistic mistake," the Supreme Court dismissed it as insincere and established a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the matter. Colonel Qureshi, renowned for her contributions to military communications and cyber warfare, continues to receive widespread support amid the controversy. (PC: ANI)
