Delhi police arrest 10 for circulating online child sexual abuse material
Delhi police arrested 10 individuals for circulating child sexual abuse material following a district-wide operation. The arrests were facilitated by international cyber tip-offs and technical analysis of digital footprints.
Why it matters
International cooperation between law enforcement and organizations like the NCMEC is essential for combating the global distribution of illegal online content.
The Central district police have arrested 10 persons and registered 10 FIRs over the past five days for allegedly transmitting, downloading, storing and circulating child sexual exploitative and abuse material (CSEAM), officials said on Sunday.
The cases were registered under provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Information Technology Act following a district-wide operation conducted between July 13 and July 18.
According to the police, the operation was launched after investigators analysed digital indicators and received international cyber tip-offs from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), a U.S.-based organisation that runs CyberTipline, a centralised reporting system designated by the U.S. government to process complaints of online child sexual exploitation.
