Ravish Kumar calls for action against UP teacher who encouraged students to slap Muslim classmate
Prominent journalist Ravish Kumar has responded to the disturbing incident in Uttar Pradesh where a teacher allegedly encouraged Hindu students to beat a Muslim classmate. Kumar took to Twitter to express his concern and urge action against such incidents that promote communal hatred among children.
In a tweet, Kumar initially shared his reaction to the incident: "I have removed the earlier tweet to avoid revealing the identity of the child. The parents of the small child who gets up and beats a Muslim child of his own age at the behest of teacher Trupti Tyagi should come forward and file a case that Trupti Tyagi is making their innocent child a rioter in the name of a Hindu."
He highlighted the grave consequences of such actions, stating, "Communalism turns children into human bombs. How the child who has been beaten will spend his life with this trauma is a matter to think about. May all of our love reach him."
Kumar also extended his concern for the child who was seemingly influenced by the teacher's divisive instruction: "May the love of all of us reach the child in whose mind the teacher has filled the poison of hatred so that he comes out of this hatred and doesn't become a rioter."
Kumar then underscored the significance of parental vigilance in such situations: "Parents must remain alert and aware of the insidious attempts to mold their children into agents of hatred under the guise of anti-Muslim sentiment."
Further commenting on the influence of media and hate-filled content, Kumar observes: "The creators of divisive content have consistently bombarded us with anti-Muslim narratives for an extended period. However, their lives continue without disruption, complete with their luxury cars. This appalling business of propagating hatred has generated substantial financial gains."
मैंने बच्चे की पहचान उजागर न हो, इसलिए पहले का ट्वीट हटा दिया है। टीचर तृप्ति त्यागी के कहने पर जो छोटा सा बच्चा उठ कर आता है और अपनी ही उम्र के मुस्लिम बच्चे को मारता है, उसके माता-पिता को आगे आकर केस करना चाहिए कि तृप्ति त्यागी उनके मासूम बच्चे को हिन्दू के नाम पर दंगाई बना रही…

24 घंटे दस साल तक एंटी मुस्लिम कवरेज किया है इन लोगों ने। पर इनके मालिकों की लाइफ़ ठीक चल रही है। लाइफ़ भी और उनकी ऑडी और मर्सिडीज़ भी। ज़हर के धंधे में काफ़ी पैसा आ गया है। https://t.co/WSGz55RuZ6

Two arrested in K'taka for assaulting minors, uploading CSAM content
Bengaluru (PTI): Two men were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two minor girls, recording the acts on mobile phones and uploading the videos online as child sexual abuse material, police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Kiran Kumar (29), hailing from Chitradurga district, and Aditya M K (20), hailing from Shivamogga district, they said.
A probe was initiated after information was received from the NCRP portal regarding a suspected instance of creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) for online dissemination, police said.
Accordingly, a case was registered at Kaggalipura Police Station under relevant sections of the IT Act on May 10, they added.
Investigation revealed that two minor girl victims were exploited and videos were created and uploaded to the internet. The child victims have subsequently recorded their statements as per procedure and further necessary legal steps have been taken, Pronab Mohanty Director General of Police, Cyber Command, said in a statement.
Based on the statements of the victims, the accused persons, who allegedly assaulted the minors, recorded the acts on mobile phones and uploaded the videos online, were arrested, he said.
Following the probe, sections 65(2) (rape) and 70 (gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant sections of the POCSO Act, have been added to the FIR, police said.
Officials collected relevant information and on May 12, arrested the accused persons and seized three mobile phones belonging to them, in which the videos had allegedly been recorded, he said.
The accused were later produced before the court and taken into police custody for further investigation, he added.
According to him, in CSAM cases, police usually apprehend offenders who have downloaded such content or have kept them in their possession after obtaining them from elsewhere, usually the internet.
"The present case is one of the very few instances where content creators and uploaders have been apprehended," Mohanty added.
