The police have arrested a Class XII student of Nehru Memorial Higher Secondary School at Aalo in Arunachal Pradesh’s West Siang district for allegedly preparing a pornographic video and making it viral on social media.
The Aalo police held him on the basis of an FIR lodged by the West Siang Unit of Arunachal Pradesh Women Welfare Society (APPWS).
The police registered a case under Section 14 and other relevant sections of the POCSO Act after indentifying the culprit. Aman is in jail and the girl in the video has also been identified for further interrogation.
The video shows Aman disrobing and outraging the modesty of the girl who seems to be in an unconscious state. The accused also appears performing the pornographic act, circulated via WhatsApp and other social media platform.
Expressing anguish on such practices among the youth, APPWS Aalo unit president Marbom Riba Bagra said that students should devote their time to studies and other productive activities than resort to such dirty activities that can pollute a society.
“Such unhealthy practices are quite detrimental for the future of young generation and will not be tolerated by women at any cost,” she said.
The women’s wing has appealed district administration, police and court to give exemplary punishment to the perpetrator.
