Bolstering child safety online, Delhi’s Anand Parbat station apprehended Pankaj Goyal, 40, for downloading illicit child sexual exploitation videos through Instagram. Sparked by NCMEC’s urgent cyber report, this case highlights the urgent need for robust platform monitoring amid rising digital predation.
FIR registration on March 20 cited POCSO Act Section 15 and IT Act Section 67(B). The investigative squad, featuring ATO/Inspector Adesh Kumar alongside Head Constables Jitendra and Boduram, operated under strict oversight. Their toolkit included mobile subscriber data mining, tech monitoring, and community checks, culminating in suspect identification.
Acting on a reliable tip, police swooped on Punjabi Basti, securing Goyal. Post-arrest grilling led to his admission of Instagram-based offenses, backed by hard digital proof. The confiscated phone awaits forensic dissection.
Delhi Police implores netizens: prioritize caution in cyberspace, abstain from engaging with child abuse material, and alert authorities instantly. Collective vigilance is key to dismantling these networks and ensuring a secure digital future for kids.
