Overview
- Kiran Kumar, 29, and Aditya M K, 20, were arrested May 12 and a court sent them to police custody.
- The case began with an alert to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, which led Kaggalipura police to file an Information Technology Act case on May 10.
- Investigators say the men filmed the sexual assault of two minor girls and uploaded the clips as child sexual abuse material, which is unusual since most cases involve only possession.
- Based on the girls’ statements, police added Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 65(2) and 70 and several charges under the POCSO child-protection law to the FIR, and seized three phones for forensic checks.
- Officers are tracking any online circulation and pursuing other leads, with local reports saying an uncle linked to the girls has not been traced.
