Odisha: Three cities of Odisha in Online Child Abuse, the most heinous crime. Odisha State Commission For Protection Of Child Rights has been in all awake and vigilant. A day after the CBI carried out raids at 3 locations in Odisha as a part of a coordinated nation-wide search in connection with an alleged racket involved in the cyber sexual abuse of children and circulation of abusive material on social media, the Odisha State Commission For Protection Of Child Rights (OSCPCR ) on Wednesday said steps will be taken to stop child pornography in the State.
OSCPCR Chair-person Sandhyabati Pradhan said that the Commission will seek a report from CBI and the Odisha Crime Branch regarding the findings in the investigation. “Stringent action will be taken against those who are sharing and circulating abuse material on the internet,” she added. She also informed that the Commission will hold an awareness drive from November 20 to December 10 to sensitize people about child pornography.
The investigating agency had conducted simultaneous raids at different locations in 13 other states also. The CBI has registered 23 separate cases against 83 people on charges of online child sexual abuse and exploitation. The CBI team attack incident in Dhenkanal was unfortunate said Sandhyabati Pradhan. Several women brandishing wooden planks gheraoed the CBI officials and beat them up. The mob allegedly dragged the CBI officials out of Nayak’s house before assaulting them. The officers were subsequently rescued by the Town Police station staff.
