The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a case against accused from Indore on allegations of Online Sexual Abuse/ Intimidation of a minor girl from Australia. CBI had received input from Interpol in this regard. It was alleged that the accused befriended the said minor girl on a social media platform Instagram. During conversation with the said minor girl, he allegedly groomed her into sending him, her objectionable images and videos.

It was further alleged that over a period of time when the said minor girl was reluctant to share images and videos, the accused started threatening her that he would release her images and videos to her friends and family members, as a result, she continued to share the videos and images under duress. Later, the victim blocked the accused on the said social media platform. However, the accused again contacted the said minor girl over WhatsApp to further intimidate her.
