GURGAON: A Noida teenager and her mother have been forced to move homes three times since July 29, when Noida Police filed an FIR accusing the 15-year-old of using profanities against Prime Minister Modi at a protest at Jantar Mantar. The teenager's lawyer, Anil Kumar, questioned the validity of the FIR as it does not mention her age, which he claims is 14.
The FIR alleges the girl's comments fall under defamation, intentional insult, and public mischief. The teenager, who has since publicly apologized, claims she has been receiving rape and death threats on her social media accounts. They have moved to an undisclosed location after threats continued to escalate. The teenager is a 10th-grade student studying through an open schooling system in Delhi.
