Ruchika Singh Resurfaces, Accuses Modi of Making Life Hell
Ruchika Singh is a 15-year-old girl who became part of a controversy after insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a protest.
The protest happened at Jantar Mantar in July.
A police complaint, called a Zero FIR, was later registered against her in Noida.
Singh then made a video apologising for what she said.
A new video has now appeared online.
In it, she says that her life became very difficult and that she has been followed and pressured.
The new video has not been independently checked, and nobody knows exactly when or where it was recorded.
Some people and political parties support her, while others criticise her earlier remarks and question the new video.
