Both cases, registered under Section 67B of the Information Technology Act, were detected during routine monitoring of cyber tip reports shared with law enforcement, said police.According to police, in the first case, the NCMEC flagged an account from which CSAM content was uploaded to a Google-linked platform. Investigators traced the activity to a juvenile in Sangam Vihar. The second case originated from another NCMEC report and involved multiple uploads of similar content. The accused in this case, the 54-year-old from Chhatarpur Extension, was found to have accessed and transmitted the content across several sessions, said police.A senior officer said both cases involved extensive coordination between the Cyber Police Station of South District, the I4C, and service providers. The investigation team analysed login history, activity timestamps, IP addresses, and Subscriber Detail Records (SDRs) of linked mobile numbers. “The IP logs matched the timestamps in the NCMEC reports, and the suspects’ devices were used repeatedly to access the illicit content,” said DCP South, Ankit Chauhan.Police traced the locations and seized the mobile devices used to upload such contents. The devices were sent for forensic examination, police said, adding that in the case involving the juvenile, proceedings were conducted under the Juvenile Justice Act.“These (NCMEC) reports play a critical role in helping us trace offenders who operate online and often believe they remain anonymous,” the DCP also said.In an advisory, the police urged parents to monitor their children’s smartphones and online activities and report any suspicious behaviour on the National Cybercrime Portal or dial helpline number 1930. “Early reporting and awareness are essential in preventing exploitation and protecting children from online harm,” DCP Chauhan said.Further investigation is underway.Stay updated with the latest - Click here to follow us on Instagram© The Indian Express Pvt LtdTags:delhi
