Rajasthan cyber police have detained a 21‑year‑old suspect for creating a fake social media profile that circulated altered, offensive pictures of a minor student in Jhalawar.
The cyber crime unit of Rajasthan Police arrested a 21‑year‑old individual in Jhalawar after discovering that he had edited photographs of an under‑age schoolgirl and uploaded them to a fabricated social‑media account. The images were described as offensive and violated child protection norms.
According to the police statement, the suspect used basic photo‑editing tools to alter the minor’s appearance before sharing the content publicly, prompting complaints from the victim’s family and a swift cyber‑investigation.
Authorities said the arrest was made under the Information Technology Act, which criminalises the creation and distribution of indecent material involving minors. The case is being forwarded to the district court for further legal action.
