Ahmedabad Police Arrest Eight in Online Harassment Cases Under Cyber Rakshika InitiativePreviousNext

The Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Branch arrested eight individuals, including a woman, and took legal action against three minors after registering nine FIRs related to online harassment, fake social media profiles, objectionable content, and blackmail. These actions were part of "Mission Cyber Rakshika," aimed at protecting women from cyber abuse. Complaints involved misuse of women's photos and videos on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, often linked to personal disputes or attempts to gain social media followers. Victims were counselled confidentially by women officers.
