Two Koparkhairane residents Suraj Vijay Sachdev and Saddam Kallu have been booked under Section 67B (punishment for publishing or transmitting of material depicting children in the sexually explicit act, etc, in the electric form) of the Information Technology Act, 2000 by the Koparkhairane police. The police had registered cases against the two last week for circulating child pornographic content on Facebook, a Mumbai Mirror report read.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs gave a tip-off to the police's cybercrime cell. The US-based NGO, the National Centre For Missing and Exploited Children alerted the MHA about the false activities of the two suspects. Established by the US Congress in 1984, NCMEC has a centralized reporting system through which internet service providers across the world or social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube, can report cases of child pornography/exploitation.
