Non-Consensual Intimate Images

The Delhi High Court issued directions and recommendations to the intermediaries, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and Delhi Police for ensuring that cases related to Non-Consensual Intimate Images (NCII) are dealt with in a manner that minimises the trauma caused to the victim and resolves the problem at hand expeditiously.

A single-judge bench of Justice Subramonium Prasad, while passing the directions, observed that the “internet never forgets and once such content is uploaded, it becomes exceptionally difficult to control its spread”.
