A first information report was filed at Patna Secretariat police station against CMO's stenographer Sagar Prasad and others for publicly posting images of a minor victim from Jamui and her family.
Patna police recorded a first information report on Thursday at the Secretariat police station against Sagar Prasad, the stenographer attached to the Chief Minister's Office, and several unnamed individuals. The FIR stems from the unauthorized posting of photographs of a minor girl from Jamui and members of her family on social media platforms.
According to the complaint, the images were circulated without consent, violating privacy and child protection norms. Authorities have invoked relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, which criminalize the dissemination of a child's likeness without permission.
Investigators have opened multiple case strands, including charges under the Information Technology Act for digital misconduct. The police have ordered the immediate removal of the content and are seeking cooperation from platform providers to trace the origin of the posts.
The incident has sparked concerns among local activists about the vulnerability of minors in the digital age and the need for stricter enforcement of privacy safeguards.
Further updates will follow as the investigation progresses and any arrests are made.
