An online minor sexual abuse racket has been busted by the CBI today.
This is part of an ongoing investigation.
The leader of the gang was arrested from his house in Srinagar. He is being produced in court.
The racket operated and targeted minors online.

Thread begins.

CBI says that they have recently traced and arrested another accused from Chitrakoot in Uttar Pradesh on November 16.
The man is accused of sexually abusing at least 50 minors from the districts of Chitrakoot, Banda & Hamirpur (Uttar Pradesh).
Searches are on across India.
CBI isn't revealing how they got to know about these rackets but sources confirm that they got to know about them while pursuing an "ongoing case" which is under investigation.
A huge cache of data in pen drives, laptops, external hard drives have been recovered from both accused
The accused in Uttar Pradesh used to sell the pornographic material online on dark web. The transactions have been traced.
The man in Srinagar had a conduit, a woman, in Washington DC, and both used to engage in blackmailing minor girls from the USA with incriminating materials.
As per CBI: The accused's partner is living in Washington DC.
"The accused was allegedly operating through his wife, who had agreed to be involved in Master - Slave relationship with the accused and on his direction, she allegedly exploited multiple minors, recorded these abuses"
CBI adds: "The incriminating data was electronically sent to him. It was alleged that when the victims refused to follow his dictate, he shared these videos and images with victims' family members."
CBI raid at Srinagar led to the recovery of 3 laptops, 5 mobiles, pen drives etc.
The CBI has slapped a case under sections of 67B of the IT Act and section 14 of POCSO Act (2012).
Sources say Homeland Security has been notified about the woman in DC and she may be in custody soon.
The CBI is praying for custody of the man accused and it's likely to be granted
The CBI confirms and affirms that it is working on unearthing of child sexual abuse rackets and tracing channels on the dark web where these illegal materials are traded.
They haven't declared if it is connected with any case so I would request all to not draw a conclusion.
However, the CBI has also confirmed that this minor abuse case, is a "part of an ongoing probe".
This means, that the leads of this case have emerged while investigating another case which was already under its jurisdiction.
Apart from this, no other fact has been revealed so far
Parents must keep a vigil on the online activity of children. Parents must also regularly check the browsing history and conduct surprise checks on their children's' devices. More so, it is not advisable to let them log in alone when none is around to keep check.

Thread closed.

More from Society

This is a piece I've been thinking about for a long time. One of the most dominant policy ideas in Washington is that policy should, always and everywhere, move parents into paid labor. But what if that's wrong?

My reporting here convinced me that there's no large effect in either direction on labor force participation from child allowances. Canada has a bigger one than either Romney or Biden are considering, and more labor force participation among women.

But what if that wasn't true?

Forcing parents into low-wage, often exploitative, jobs by threatening them and their children with poverty may be counted as a success by some policymakers, but it’s a sign of a society that doesn’t value the most essential forms of labor.

The problem is in the very language we use. If I left my job as a New York Times columnist to care for my 2-year-old son, I’d be described as leaving the labor force. But as much as I adore him, there is no doubt I’d be working harder. I wouldn't have stopped working!

I tried to render conservative objections here fairly. I appreciate that @swinshi talked with me, and I'm sorry I couldn't include everything he said. I'll say I believe I used his strongest arguments, not more speculative ones, in the piece.
@danielashby @AdamWJT @Greens4HS2 @TheGreenParty @GarethDennis @XRebellionUK @Hs2RebelRebel @HS2ltd I'll bite. Let's try to keep it factual. There's a reasonable basis to some aspects of this question, that it might be possible to agree on. Then there are other, more variable, elements which depend on external factors such as transport and energy policy. /1

@AdamWJT @Greens4HS2 @TheGreenParty @GarethDennis @XRebellionUK @Hs2RebelRebel @HS2ltd First up, we know reasonably well how much energy it takes to propel a high-speed train along the HS2 route. We can translate that into effective CO2 generated by making some assumptions about how green the electricity grid is. /2

@AdamWJT @Greens4HS2 @TheGreenParty @GarethDennis @XRebellionUK @Hs2RebelRebel @HS2ltd Secondly, we have a reasonable grasp of how much CO2 is going to be generated by building HS2 - there are standard methods of working this out, based on the amount of steel, concrete, earthmoving, machine-fuelling etc required. /3

@AdamWJT @Greens4HS2 @TheGreenParty @GarethDennis @XRebellionUK @Hs2RebelRebel @HS2ltd Thirdly, we can estimate how much CO2 is generated by cutting down trees, and how much is captured by planting new trees. We can also estimate how much CO2 is needed to keep the railway running and generated by maintaining the track /4

@AdamWJT @Greens4HS2 @TheGreenParty @GarethDennis @XRebellionUK @Hs2RebelRebel @HS2ltd We know how much CO2 is saved by moving goods by freight train on the lines freed up by moving the express trains on to HS2, rather than by truck. /5
