Punjab has been witnessing some high-profile cybercrime cases for the past few months. Kulhad Pizza Couple, the famous Phagwara Couple, Ludhiana social media influencer, and more have suffered video leaks that they claimed have been made using Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, things became ever more serious when it was reported that pictures of 50 female students of a famous school in Chandigarh Sector 25 had been obscenely morphed and uploaded on Snapchat.
Chandigarh School Sector 25 leaked photo row fumed parents of students who protested against the administration and later met SSP Kanwardeep Kaur. On listening to the grievances of parents, SSP Kanwardeep Kaur directed the Police to lodge an FIR. As a result, Thana no. 11 registered a case under 67A,13 POCSO Act against unknown persons/people.
It is pertinent to mention here that a 12th-class student in the Sector 25 school was said to be a suspect in the case, however, reports suggest that the police have denied this, saying further investigation is underway to nab those responsible for the criminal acts.
Chandigarh School Sector 25 leaked photo controversy
As per reports, the bizarre incident took place on October 10, 2023. Reportedly, a girl's father had gone to take her from school after all the periods were over. However, the girl came crying to her father. When her father asked the reason for this, she informed him that there was a Snapchat portal for seniors. Apart from her, objectionable pictures of many other girls have been shared on that portal.
Parents have alleged the photos of the girls have been downloaded from the school's portal. The portal reportedly connects parents, school students, and school staff. As a result, the parents sense that the person who leaked and edited girl student photos may be part of the school.
