For the past three days, the protester against whom a zero FIR was registered last week for her “abusive” remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and her mother have been living at an undisclosed location out of fear.On July 31, the same day that the PM spoke of forgiving “misguided children” who had used abusive language at the 36-day Jantar Mantar stir, where the protester had joined other protesters against the alleged NEET paper leak, she had uploaded an apology video on social media.“We hoped it would end the harassment,” her mother told The Hindu. Instead, the harassment intensified.“I am fed up. I have lost my work. We had no option but to leave our house because police personnel and strangers started showing up,” said the mother, who earns her living by giving tuitions at home and has been raising her daughter by herself since her husband’s death in 2019.“We don’t know when things will become normal or when we will be able to return home,” she added.Their lawyer, Anil Kumar, said, “They cannot leave the place where they are staying right now. They are under complete lockdown.”He claims that all details in the zero FIR registered on July 29, including the accused’s name and age, are wrong, and that she is 15, not 25 as mentioned in the FIR.Address shared online“The only thing that was correct was the address, which they [complainant] probably found circulating online. The two had no option but to leave their home,” he said. The lawyer added that no one from Delhi Police has contacted them since the case was transferred from Noida to the Parliament Street police station.When reached for comment, DCP (New Delhi) Sachin Sharma said a regular FIR in the case has not yet been registered. “We will conduct a preliminary investigation and then take a call,” he said.
