Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Vipin Tada said the case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act. The provisions relate to insulting the dignity of a woman, forgery with intent to harm reputation and misuse of electronic platforms to circulate objectionable material. Cyber Crime Police have launched an investigation and are conducting forensic analysis of the posts to identify the origin of the uploads, the devices used and those responsible.
