New Delhi, August 1, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
A young woman booked for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a student protest over the NEET paper leak has issued a public apology in a video that has gone viral on social media.
In the video, the girl, standing with folded hands, expresses regret over her comments and says she deeply regrets using inappropriate language during the demonstration. She claims that she was influenced by the atmosphere and people around her at the protest, which led her to make remarks that she now considers unacceptable.
Seeking forgiveness, she says she never intended to create controversy and apologises to the Prime Minister as well as to people across the country who may have been hurt by her words.
“I am only 15 years old. Whatever I did was not worthy of forgiveness. I have said a lot of bad things,” she says in the video, adding, “I apologise to the entire country. I am so ashamed. I can’t even look at myself. Please forgive me.”
The girl also disputes details mentioned in the police case, claiming she is 15 years old, whereas the FIR reportedly describes her as a 25-year-old.
The controversy began after a complaint was lodged at a police station in Noida over remarks allegedly made by the girl against the Prime Minister during a protest. Noida Police registered a Zero FIR, which was subsequently transferred to Parliament Street Police Station in New Delhi for further investigation.
According to the complaint, the remarks were alleged to have insulted the dignity of the Prime Minister’s Office and had the potential to disturb public peace and promote disharmony.
The apology video surfaced hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi released an Instagram video addressing the controversy. Referring to abusive slogans raised against him during student protests at Jantar Mantar, the Prime Minister appealed for restraint and forgiveness rather than punitive action.
He acknowledged that the language used during the protests had shocked many people and noted that even his late mother had been subjected to abusive remarks. However, he described the youngsters involved as “misguided” and said that mistakes are a part of childhood and provide an opportunity for learning.
Emphasising compassion over punishment, the Prime Minister said society should guide such youngsters instead of subjecting them to prolonged legal proceedings or social ostracism. He expressed his willingness to forgive them and urged the public to adopt the same approach.
