Put yourself in Vedant's place.
You studied hard for your exam. You wrote your paper well. But CBSE goofed up with your paper and gave you low marks.
You are under tremendous stress. You take to social media to highlight the issue. But a DD News anchor labels you ‘Pakistani.’
And that anchor is paid with your father's tax money.
Now, imagine the trauma.
