New Delhi: An Australian girl has accused an Indian boy of sexual abuse. Interestingly, the two never met. However, they used to chat on Instagram. Now the CBI has also taken action in this case. The CBI i.e. Central Bureau of Investigation has registered a case against a man from Indore on charges of sexually abusing and threatening a minor girl from Australia through Instagram.
Giving this information, officials said that the CBI had received information from Interpol that Ankur Shukla, a resident of Indore in Madhya Pradesh, had befriended a girl from Australia through the social media platform Instagram. The CBI said in a statement that in a conversation with the minor girl, Ankur Shukla had allegedly asked her to send her objectionable pictures and videos.
The CBI spokesperson said, “It was alleged that after some time when the said minor girl showed reluctance to share the pictures and videos, the accused started threatening her that he would send her pictures and videos to her friends and family members, as a result, she continued doing so.” He said that the girl later ‘blocked’ Shukla on Instagram but he continued to threaten her using WhatsApp.
CBI spokesperson said, ‘CBI traced the whereabouts of the accused and collected evidence. Computer hard disks, mobile phones were recovered by searching the premises of the accused.’ Now CBI has intensified the search to arrest him. A team has been formed for this. He will be arrested soon.
