CBI raids 19 states over child abuse
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has conducted raids at 56 locations across 19 states and a Union Territory in connection with the online circulation of child sexual abuse material. The raids are aimed at identifying and taking action against the individuals and gangs involved in distributing Child abuse material through social media platforms, and blackmailing minors.
The search operation named “Operation Meghchakra”, is the central probe agency’s biggest crackdown against the circulation of child pornography videos and images so far. The search operation was launched by the CBI after receiving inputs from the Interpol office in Singapore.
Raids were conducted in Haryana, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Goa, Rajasthan, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Tripura and Himachal Pradesh.
During searches, electronic devices including mobiles, laptops belonging to over 50 suspects have been recovered. An officer said, “Those raided are involved in sharing objectionable child sexual abuse material on different social media groups. The suspects are being questioned with regard to the CSAM found in their electronic devices so as to identify the child victims and the abusers.”
CBI has registered two cases under relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000. “It was alleged that a number of Indian citizens were involved in circulation/downloading/transmission of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) using cloud-based storage,” CBI said in the statement.
