Students have been protesting in New Delhi, calling for changes to the examination system. On July 20, clashes broke out between security personnel and protesters as students marched toward Parliament.

Sehrawat, who was deployed during the protest, sustained a fractured hand in the clash.

Already well known on social media, Sehrawat has more than 600,000 followers on Instagram. However, the protests brought renewed attention to her online presence.

An Instagram story posted from her account showed a picture of a dead cockroach with the caption, “Those who cannot fix themselves, how can they fix the country?” The post was later deleted, but screenshots circulated widely on social media.

Sehrawat later appeared in an interview while wearing a cast on her injured hand. During the interview, she was asked why her uniform did not display a name tag. She replied that she had removed the nameplate because of the heat and discomfort.

Her response drew mixed reactions on social media. Some users accepted the explanation, while others questioned whether uniform regulations should be followed under all circumstances.

The episode has highlighted how social media can rapidly amplify events linked to public protests, with online platforms becoming a key part of the broader public discussion.

Sehrawat, previously known on social media for her fitness content and professional profile, has since become one of the most widely discussed figures associated with the student protests.

No detailed official statement has so far been issued by Sehrawat or the relevant authorities regarding the matter, while discussion continues on social media.
