DCW issues summons to Twitter and police over child porn

The Delhi Commission of Women has issued summons to Twitter India and the Delhi Police after finding multiple handles allegedly posting tweets related to child pornography and rape. Police said they have registered an FIR based on the commission’s complaint under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and for sections of outraging the modesty of a woman.

The commission said they found hundreds of handles tweeting such content “openly” and sent notices in this regard. “The accounts engaging in these criminal acts appear to be running a racket wherein they seek money for providing such content,” said DCW officials.
