New Delhi: Twitter and Delhi Police have been issued summons by the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) over the availability of child pornography videos on the microblogging website.
DCW has given time till 26 September to Twitter and the Delhi Police to respond to the summonses.
“The Chandigarh University incident set me thinking and I asked my team to investigate. We found videos of minor girls on Twitter in which they were seen being raped. Some of the platforms were even selling these videos for Rs 20 to Rs 30. This is horrific,” DCW chief Swati Maliwal told reporters.
Maliwal further asked Twitter how such videos are existing on the site and also asked the microblogging site about its policies for checking such content.
Maliwal has asked the Delhi Police to register an FIR to identify those involved in filming and uploading such videos as well as the victims and the accused.
