Theerthahalli: The leaders of the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) visited the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) office on Saturday and formally requested that legal action be taken against the president of the ABVP student organization's Theerthahalli unit. The request comes in response to the circulation of obscene pictures of girls from a prestigious college in Tirthahalli through WhatsApp groups.

The NSUI leaders expressed concern over the potential blackmailing of young women, where they are enticed to join the organization and then subjected to filming obscene pictures of their bodies, followed by threats of making them go viral. Such incidents not only cause social embarrassment but also create a hostile environment for girls from respectable families to attend schools and colleges.

The NSUI urged for the immediate registration of a suo-motu case and initiation of an investigation into the matter. They emphasized the need for appropriate legal action to be taken without succumbing to the influence of influential individuals within the police department.

Among those present during the submission of the request were NSUI members Amaranath Shetty, Jayaprakash Shetty, Sujith Salian, Ashwal Gowda Sarath Malur, and several others.
