A Delhi court has asked Delhi Police to respond to a plea seeking an FIR against student activist Nishu Azad and her father, Sanjay Azad. The plea concerns four alleged social media posts about Hindu deities.
The court has sought an action-taken report from the police. It has not ordered an FIR to be registered. This is an important distinction — the court is asking the police what they have done so far, not directing them to file a case.
What the Delhi Court Has Asked For
The Chief Judicial Magistrate's court sought the response from Delhi Police on the plea for registration of an FIR. The request is for an action-taken report, which means the police must explain their position on the complaint.
Nishu Azad is 14 years old. She is a student activist associated with the CJP. She came into wider public attention after her father was allegedly assaulted during a Jantar Mantar protest.
Why This Case Is Separate From the Assault Matter
The social media case is separate from the assault proceedings involving influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj. These are two different matters and should not be mixed up.
The court's move is procedural. It does not mean an FIR will be registered. It only means the police must reply to the court about what action, if any, they have taken on the complaint.

- The social media case is separate from the Jantar Mantar assault proceedings
Our Take: What This Means for Readers
To put it plainly, this is a court asking the police to explain themselves. It is not a verdict. It is not an FIR. It is a procedural step that happens in many complaints.
In our view, readers should be careful about how this news is shared. The headline may sound like action has been taken against Nishu Azad. It has not. The court has only asked the police for a response. Until the police reply and the court takes a further view, nothing is decided.
The case involves a 14-year-old. That fact alone should make people pause before jumping to conclusions. The legal process is at an early stage, and the court has not found anyone guilty of anything.
What matters now is what Delhi Police say in their action-taken report. That will decide the next step. Until then, this remains a pending plea, not a registered case.
