Patna, Mar 5: The Economic Offence Unit (EOU) of the Bihar police has ordered Google, Facebook, and Twitter to submit information on cyber offenders.
According to news agency IANS, Nayyer Hasnain Khan, ADG (EOU), has requested that the India heads of Google, Facebook, and Twitter submit data of the alleged criminals involved in threatening and blackmailing Bihar’s common people.
In recent months, cyber thieves have recruited women to make video calls to possible targets and then blackmail the victims with pictures of the talks.
According to the officer, there have been 40 cases of social media blackmail in Bihar, with FIRs filed at various police stations across the state.
“We have given the details of 40 FIRs and asked them to provide details of the accused. In case of inaction from the India heads of Google, Facebook and Twitter, we will serve separate notice under the CrPC 91 to them. We have already sent e-mails to the head offices of these three institutions,” Khan said.
“We have directed the officials to solve the cases within two months.”
