RAF assistant commandant Sonia Sehrawat, a Haryana‑born officer, has become the centre of a political storm after an Instagram post was alleged to mock protesters at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. The post, which surfaced following clashes between demonstrators and security forces, was seen by many as disrespectful towards the demonstrators’ demands.
The protest at Jantar Mantar, a historic site in Delhi, had drawn national attention, and the officer’s post was quickly flagged on social media. Critics argued that the post undermined the seriousness of the protest and the rights of the participants.
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra publicly condemned the officer’s remarks, calling them “unacceptable” and urging the authorities to take action. The controversy has sparked a broader debate about the conduct of defence personnel on social media.
As of now, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has not released an official statement regarding the incident, leaving the situation unresolved and the officer’s future actions uncertain.
