HOUSE PANEL CALLS HOME SECY ON CYBER CRIMES

NEW DELHI: A parliamentary panel has called the union home secretary Ajay Bhalla to hear the ministry’s views on cyber crimes involving women and children.

The committee on home has picked up the topic of cybercrime against women and children as such incidents are increasingly being flagged by victims and social activists. Last year, Rajya Sabha chairman formed a panel to probe access of pornographic material to children. The panel, headed by Congress’s Anand Sharma, is also preparing a report on Atrocities and Crimes against Women & Children.
