Delhi Police crack down on posts targeting PM Modi
NDTV··29 Jul
Delhi Police are sending takedown notices to platforms to remove posts using crude and abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Cockroach Janta Party protests. Several platforms have received notices, and most flagged videos, comments and posts have already been removed. A police team is checking content regularly and issuing fresh notices as new material appears.

What It Means For You
- Social media users posting about political protests should know platforms are already acting on government takedown requests in similar cases.
- Anyone who followed the NEET protests will see this as one of the final follow-up actions after it ended.
- This shows how quickly enforcement can shift from street protest to online content once a movement's demands are settled.
What's Happening
- Delhi Police are sending takedown notices to platforms to remove abusive posts targeting PM Modi from the CJP protests.
- Most flagged videos, comments and posts have already been removed after police notices were issued.
- The crackdown began a day after the 37-day protest ended following Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
What Led to the Crackdown in the First Place
- Tensions rose during CJP's July 20 march to Parliament, when police used tear gas and baton charges on protesters.
- Talks between the government and CJP, joined by activist Sonam Wangchuk, began that same day.
- CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka has said the agreement includes withdrawal of FIRs against protesters and organisers nationwide.
