Explore cyber patrolling to protect dignity of women: Madras HC

CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Tuesday directed the Director General of Police (DGP) to consider introducing cyber patrolling to prevent uploading of non-consensual intimate images (NCII) and videos on digital platforms, on the lines of the Cyber Patrolling and Intelligence Team constituted for real-time crack down on online frauds including digital arrest.

Concurring with the submissions made by senior counsel Abudu Kumar Rajaratnam on the issue, the judge said, “The second respondent (DGP) shall also consider introducing such cyber patrolling insofar as preventing videos/intimate images in the category of NCII.”
