CBI arrests Mathura resident in minors’ sexual assault case

“A case was registered suo-moto on June 17 against the accused, from Mathura, on serious allegations, including the creation, collection, storage and uploading of CSAM depicting minors in explicit sexual acts,” the CBI said in a statement.

“The accused also possessed pornographic content involving children in violation of laws,” the statement added.

Searches were conducted at the residential premises of the accused on June 19, resulting in the seizure of incriminating electronic devices.

“Subsequent forensic analysis uncovered a substantial volume of CSAM in the form of images and videos. These materials were corroborated with data from Interpol’s International Child Sexual Exploitation (ICSE) database as well as Cyber Tipline Reports (CTRs) generated by Google and shared with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), Ministry of Home Affairs,” the spokesperson said.

“Investigation and analysis of electronic devices revealed the electronic content depicting minor children being raped, sexually assaulted, sexually harassed, threatened and their obscene photographs were taken by the accused in Mathura. In a swift and coordinated effort, the CBI was able to identify, locate, and rescue the minor victim children,” the spokesperson said.
