New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Police has arrested a 25-year-old man for allegedly possessing and circulating child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online through Telegram, an official said on Friday.

Salman, a resident of Bhalswa Dairy, was arrested on Wednesday after a report was received from the CyberTipline, a centralised system of the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), a non-profit organisation, for reporting online exploitation of children, a senior police officer said.

The report forwarded to the Bhalswa Dairy police station contained information about the manufacturing, possession, and distribution of child pornographic content by a Telegram user, the officer said.

Based on the inputs, a case under relevant sections of the Information Technology Act, 2000, was registered on October 1.

After a probe, police conducted a raid in the Bhalswa Dairy area, arrested Salman, and seized the mobile phone used in the commission of crime as evidence, the officer said.

"The accused was found possessing and sharing objectionable content involving minors on Telegram. His phone has been sent for forensic analysis to extract further evidence," a senior police officer said.

Further investigation is underway to identify other individuals linked to the offence, he added.

Kalaburagi: Two years after being expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), former minister C.M. Ibrahim has announced that he will launch a new regional political party in Karnataka on January 24, reported Deccan Herald.

Ibrahim emphasised that the organisation would be guided by the principles of 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.

A veteran politician, Ibrahim served as Union Civil Aviation Minister during the tenure of H.D. Deve Gowda as Prime Minister and later headed the Karnataka unit of the Janata Dal (Secular). He was expelled from the JD(S) in 2023 on charges of anti-party activities.

His exit from the party followed sharp differences over the JD(S) decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As the then state president of the JD(S), Ibrahim had publicly criticised the alliance, claiming it was finalised without his knowledge. He had also reportedly convened meetings of his supporters and expressed support for the INDIA bloc.
