A 15-year-old girl, Ruchika Singh, who was accused of using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, released a public apology video expressing remorse. With folded hands, she said she was ashamed of her actions, apologised to the nation, and sought forgiveness, claiming she had been influenced by others. The controversy followed the registration of a Zero FIR over the incident. Responding through a video message, Prime Minister Modi said abuse never solves problems and described the students as "misguided children," urging society to guide them instead of seeking punishment.
