Zero FIR against Noida woman over PM Modi remarks: Is abusive language punishable under Indian law?

A Noida FIR was registered against Ruchika Singh for alleged remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The case involves sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, not obscenity laws. Supreme Court rulings have narrowed the definition of obscenity over time. Profanity and vulgarity are not legally considered obscenity by the courts. The investigation will determine if the alleged remarks meet higher legal thresholds.
