The Central Bureau of Investigation took major action against online sharing of items related to child sexual abuse. The investigating agency has raided 56 locations in 20 states on Saturday. It has been named ‘Operation Meghchakra’ by the CBI. It is reported that the raids have been conducted on the basis of inputs received from Interpol Singapore and information obtained during Operation Carbon, carried out last year.
The CBI has taken action in respect of two cases of Circulation of Child Sexual Exploitation Material (CSEM). It is reported that initial information about people allegedly involved in sharing CSEM through different social media platforms was received from Interpol New Zealand.
The CBI got this intelligence through Singapore. Earlier in the year 2021, the CBI had carried out Operation Carbon. During that time, 76 locations were raided against 83 people across the country and many arrests were made.
Through Operation Meghchakra, the investigating agency is tracing the people involved in sharing the CSEM online. It is reported that such rackets are run at the level of an individual or even an organization. The main focus of the operation is the cloud storage facility, with which paddlers circulate sexual material involving minors.
