Case under TGHRC scanner
In a statement issued on Monday, the Commission said the racket — reportedly involving baby-selling, unauthorised medical procedures and illegal surrogacy — violated the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, healthcare laws and fundamental human rights.
'These activities appear to be led by Dr Athaluri Namrata, proprietor of Universal Srushti Fertility Centre, in collusion with her son Jayant Krishna and others. If proven, these actions would amount to serious violations of constitutional rights, including bodily autonomy, dignity, and protection from exploitation,' the Commission said.
The TGHRC directed the principal secretary, health, to submit a detailed report covering action taken, previous complaints and FIRs, list of victims, involvement of officials if any, preventive steps, and the current monitoring mechanism. The next hearing is on August 28.

Online bullying can be as mentally traumatic as physical violence: Delhi HC
Cyberbullying can be as mentally traumatic and scarring as physical violence, the Delhi High Court has said, while upholding the conviction of a man who sent morphed nude images and threatening messages to a minor girl studying in Class 9. The judgment, delivered on July 28 by Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, stressed the devastating psychological impact of online harassment, particularly on children. (HT Archive) The court rejected his appeal against a five-year sentence, describing the case as a 'textbook example of cyberbullying.' The judgment, delivered on July 28 by Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, stressed the devastating psychological impact of online harassment, particularly on children. 'What is deeply concerning is the use of technology to commit cyberbullying – an act that, while faceless and silent, can be as mentally traumatic and scarring as physical violence, especially when directed towards children. Such conduct, in the virtual world, has very real and devastating consequences in the real world,' justice Sharma said. The conviction stems from a complaint filed in September 2016 by the victim's mother. The minor girl, then in Class 9, was using a tablet for studying when she received morphed obscene images of herself along with threatening messages on WhatsApp. The sender, a man known to the family, warned her that the photos would be circulated if she didn't comply with his demands. The trial court in March last year had convicted him under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code including sexual harassment, stalking, criminial intimidation, sections 12 (sexual harassment) and 14 (using child for pornographic purposes) of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act, 2012 and section 67 (publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form) under the Information Technology Act. Challenging the verdict, the man claimed he was falsely implicated and that the case was full of contradictions. The Delhi Police, however, maintained that the evidence clearly showed he had transmitted obscene material and had criminally intimidated a minor. Justice Sharma, in her 35-page ruling, upheld the trial court's decision. She said that even the threat of circulating morphed images, without actually doing so, can cause irreparable long-term damage to a child's mental well-being and dignity. The act of morphing her face, the court added, sought to not only shame her but to coerce her by creating fear. 'A morphed image once created and circulated can have long-term consequences for a child's mental health, dignity, and reputation,' the judge observed. 'The fear of such circulation alone, even if the image is never actually published, is enough to terrorise a young mind.' The court also highlighted the urgent need to protect children in digital spaces. With growing reliance on gadgets for education, it said, the notion of child safety must extend beyond physical environments. 'This court is of the view that creating a safe environment for children cannot be restricted to physical spaces alone. The modern world demands that equal protection be extended to digital spaces, where children are now spending considerable time,' the court said.

Ghaziabad interfaith couple under fire again: Man held for wife's ‘abduction' — twice in two months
For the second time in two months, a Ghaziabad man was arrested on Friday for allegedly abducting his 25-year-old wife — despite the woman maintaining that they got married under the Special Marriage Act and she had left her parents' home of her own free will. The police, later in the day, sent the woman to her parents' home. Akbar Khan (29) and Sonika Chauhan (25) maintained they had been married for three years but were reduced to their only identity – their faith. On July 30, Sonika's father, Laxman Singh Chauhan, had filed a complaint at the Indirapuram police station, alleging that she had been kidnapped by her husband, Akbar, and in-laws. Minutes later, a purported video had surfaced in which Sonika claimed that she had left her home on July 30 to be with Akbar. 'I, Sonika, on July 30, around 2 pm, left my house as per my wish… For the last two months, my parents and some other people, including Meena Bhandari, Harish Karakoti, Kapil Tyagi, my maternal uncle Vikram Rawat and my paternal uncle Jagdish Singh Chauhan, had been torturing me physically and mentally… they wanted me to give a statement against Akbar in court and frame him under the POCSO (Act) and put him behind bars. But I protested… I will only tell the truth,' she is heard saying in the video. This was not the first time that Sonika's family had accused Akbar of abducting her. On May 25, too, Laxman had filed a similar complaint at the same police station — accusing Akbar of kidnapping Sonika a day earlier. Back then, Sonika had clarified that she had left home on her own. The Ghaziabad Police had then raided Akbar's home in Indirapuram and 'handed over' Sonika to her parents. Following this, the police had arrested Akbar, his two sisters, sister-in-law, and a neighbour. A group of around 60 men had also attacked Akbar's shop and vandalised it. A purported video had surfaced before Akbar's arrest in May, in which Sonika could be heard saying that she wanted to stay with him and that they had secretly gotten married at a Delhi SDM office under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, in August 2022. Akbar was released on bail on June 8. On Friday, Ghaziabad Commissioner of Police, J Ravinder Goud, said Akbar was arrested in the fresh case of abduction. 'The woman was sent to stay with her family after we took an undertaking from her parents,' he told The Indian Express. Asked why she was sent to stay with her family when she had maintained that she was mentally tortured at their home, Goud said he would check if she wished to stay at a One Stop Centre, set up to support women affected by violence. 'Her safety is our priority, and we will record her statement on Saturday before the magistrate,' he added. Laxman, in his latest complaint, had alleged that Sonika was abducted in the middle of the night by Akbar and his accomplices. He also alleged that Akbar's family had been threatening his family in the days leading up to Sonika's 'abduction on May 24'. Neetika Jha is a Correspondent with The Indian Express.

Cops crack down on dating apps promoting obscene video chats
Hyderabad: The Hyderabad cybercrime police have registered a suo-moto case against several mobile dating applications accused of promoting sexually explicit video interactions in exchange for money. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The case was initiated following observations made during web patrolling by constable Ch Venu Gopal, who flagged multiple apps offering live video chats with women. In his complaint, Gopal stated that after users create a free profile, they are prompted to purchase virtual tokens to initiate video calls with female hosts of their choice. "Almost every video call quickly turns vulgar. The women either expose themselves or persuade users to shift to WhatsApp, where they continue to share explicit content," the constable noted. Police said that many of these apps, despite branding themselves as 'safe dating' or 'friend-making' platforms, are actually facilitating sexually suggestive chats in return for payment. Among the 37 apps named in the FIR, several have amassed millions of downloads on the Google Play Store. "These platforms are camouflaging sex-based commerce under the guise of dating or social networking. It is not just morally degrading, but also a clear violation of laws relating to the indecent representation of women and the transmission of obscene material," the complaint stated. A case has been registered under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Section 79 (Gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), Section 143 (Trafficking of person), Section 144 (Exploitation of trafficked persons), Section 294 (Sale of obscene material) and Section 316(2) (Criminal breach of trust). Additionally, charges have been invoked under Sections 3 and 4 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "We are writing to Google Play Store to seek details about these apps. Our investigation will focus on identifying who is behind these platforms, their operating locations, the women featured, and how the revenue is generated," said a senior cybercrime official. "The sale of virtual tokens appears to be the primary revenue model, cleverly masked under social interaction." The police have not ruled out the involvement of organised networks and said further action will depend on digital forensics and platform responses.
