The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) has registered a suo motu case after receiving three alerts about suspected online circulation of child sexual abuse material.
The alerts were generated by Google and sent by the US-based National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) through the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C). They related to suspected activity linked to a Google profile and included digital leads such as an email account.
The TGCSB conducted preliminary checks of the available IP addresses, mobile numbers and email IDs before registering a case under Section 67B of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
The FIR said NCMEC receives reports from electronic service providers and forwards them to Indian authorities through I4C for investigation. The TGCSB is Telangana’s nodal agency for examining such alerts and initiating action.
