Delhi Police have initiated a crackdown on social media accounts and news portals accused of sharing abusive content targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi during recent student protests. Notices have been issued to platforms like X to identify users involved in the alleged violations, with police aiming to tackle content that could disrupt public order.

Delhi Police have reportedly issued notices to several social media accounts as part of a crackdown on allegedly abusive posts targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi that were shared during the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)-led student protests.

The exact number of accounts served with notices is not immediately known. However, an NDTV report said the action also extends to some news portals that allegedly shared such content.

Police have also issued a notice to X, seeking details of users who allegedly posted or shared the content under investigation.

Earlier, Delhi Police issued notices to social media intermediaries, directing them to remove posts found to be in violation of applicable laws and platform regulations.

According to police officials, several social media posts containing abusive remarks and videos targeting the prime minister surfaced during the student protests and the subsequent violence in the national capital.

Officials said the Delhi Police's Social Media Monitoring Team has been tracking content across platforms to identify posts that allegedly violate existing laws or have the potential to disturb public order.

The protests, led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), turned violent on July 20 after police stopped demonstrators from marching towards Parliament. The ensuing clashes left several students and security personnel injured.

The agitation ended on July 25 following the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The Centre also agreed to key demands raised by CJP leaders, including the withdrawal of FIRs filed against protesters and payment of ₹1 crore in compensation to the families of NEET aspirants who died by suicide.
