The controversy began after protests at Jantar Mantar over the NEET paper leak.

Reacting to those incidents, Kangana Ranaut described a section of the youth as gutterchaap. The remark quickly went viral and attracted criticism from political observers, celebrities, and social media users.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi later addressed the controversy through a video shared on Instagram, saying that he forgave the students who had used abusive language against him. One of the students, a 15-year-old girl named Ruchika, also released a video apologizing and claimed that she had been influenced by people around her during the protest. Following the apology, Kangana Ranaut shared a detailed message on her Instagram Stories. She questioned how young girls could be influenced so easily and blamed what she described as “evil feminists” and “left-wing ideologies” for misleading children.
