'मोदी जी, आपने मेरी ज़िन्दगी नरक बना दी है'
- ये बात 15 साल की रुचिका ने कही है, जिसे मोदी ने गुंडों से डरा-धमकाकर माफी मंगवाई थी

The FIR against the girl had been registered under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita pertaining to intentional insult to provoke breach of peace, statements conducing to public mischief and defamation.
A day after she apologised, Modi posted a video on social media, in which he said that he wanted to forgive the students who had allegedly made objectionable remarks about him.
Soon after, the complaint against the 15-year-old was withdrawn, reported PTI. However, it remained unclear if the FIR had been withdrawn.
The youth protests against alleged mismanagement of several competitive examinations had begun on June 6, when the Cockroach Janta Party political campaign staged a demonstration at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar to demand the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, the Union education minister at the time.
On July 20, thousands joined the protest. This came two days after the police forcibly took activist Sonam Wangchuk, who had been on a hunger strike for three weeks, to hospital.
The protesters’ march to Parliament was met with a crackdown by the police. Dozens were injured as the police used lathis, fired tear gas shells and pellet guns against the demonstrators.
The police action turbocharged the agitation, which spread to other parts of the country. Pradhan resigned as the education minister on July 25.
