Assault on two girls

Things took an even darker turn when two young women confronted the accused concerning the offensive videos. Allegedly, the siblings responded with physical assault, further intensifying the gravity of their actions.

Furthermore, the authorities swiftly responded, apprehending the accused on Tuesday under the provisions of section 354 (molestation) of the Indian Penal Code, along with relevant clauses of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).

The investigation into this disturbing case continues as the officials of the Mumbai Police continue to remain grappled with the challenges posed by AI-driven offenses. Apart from the police officials the citizens should also understand the importance of transformation. We should also understand the importance of instilling adequate awareness regarding fraud through technology.
