Portal for complaints on child porn, sexual abuse launched

The portal ‘cybercrime.gov.in’ was launched by Home Minister Rajnath Singh.

This will not only help victims and complainants but also civil society organisations and responsible citizens to anonymously report complaints pertaining to child pornography, child sexual abuse material or sexually explicit material such as rape and gang rape, Joint Secretary, Home Ministry, Madan M Oberoi said.

The cyber crime prevention against women and children (CCPWC) portal is convenient and user friendly. It will enable complainants to report cases without disclosing their identity, he said.

Complainants can also upload the objectionable content and URL to help police in the investigation. The complaints registered through this portal will be handled by the police of respective states and Union Territories. The victim or complainant can also track his or her report by opting for “report and track” option using his or her mobile number.
