Bageshwar police have registered an FIR under the Information Technology Act after a cyber tipline alert led to the detection of alleged child pornography material uploaded through a Facebook profile in the Baijnath police station area.
The case followed information received through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal’s NCMEC module under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. Police said the alert included a report and a DVD/CD containing electronic material for examination.
According to the police investigation, a Facebook profile was used to upload a JPG file and 3 video files linked to child pornography. The material was flagged through the national cyber reporting system, after which the information was sent to the Bageshwar police authorities.
How the profile was traced
Senior Sub-Inspector Sanjay Singh Brijwal, ed at Baijnath police station, received the cyber tipline-related instructions from the office of the Superintendent of Police. The cyber cell then examined technical information connected with the profile.
Police said information obtained from a telecommunications service provider, including IP detail records, helped identify a mobile number associated with the Facebook profile. The number and the internet connection were found registered in the name of Raghunath Singh, son of Padam Singh, a resident of Sailabgarh village in Magdystate.
The registration details identify the subscriber linked to the account and do not by themselves establish guilt. The investigation is continuing to determine the circumstances behind the uploads and any person’s involvement.
Investigation continues
After reviewing the electronic evidence and related documents, Baijnath police registered the FIR under relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act. Police said all digital evidence connected with the case is being examined in detail.
The case remains at the investigation stage. A police statement attributed to Bageshwar Circle Officer Ajay Lal Sah said legal action would proceed against the person found involved according to law. No court finding has been reported in the supplied information.
The development highlights the role of the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal and technical evidence in alerting police to suspected online offences. Further action will depend on the continuing analysis of the digital material and other evidence collected during the investigation.
Conclusion
Bageshwar police have filed an FIR after a national cyber tipline alert identified alleged child pornography uploads linked to a Facebook profile. Investigators are analysing the digital evidence, while the identity of the person legally responsible remains subject to the ongoing investigation.
