‘It was my first and last mistake, I’m just 15’: Girl booked over PM Modi remarks apologises in viral video

A girl booked for allegedly using abusive and objectionable language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on July 23 has reportedly apologised for her remarks in a video that has gone viral on social media.

In the video, she says she was influenced by others present at the protest and made inappropriate comments against the Prime Minister.

“I came under the influence of some people at the protest and said a lot of bad things against the Prime Minister,” she says in the clip, according to reports by NDTV, India Today and other media outlets.

Hindustan Times could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.

The FIR identifies the accused as a 25-year-old woman. However, in the apology video, she claims she is “just 15 years old”, creating a discrepancy over her age.

Calling the episode her “first and last mistake”, she apologised for her remarks and said she regretted her actions.
