‘CrPC notice sent to hosting platform not legally binding’
Nearly a month and a half after Delhi Police registered a case in connection with photos of Muslim women being uploaded without permission on an app called ‘Sulli deals’, investigators said the hosting platform, GitHub, has replied to their notice. Police sources said that a notice under Criminal Procedure Code was issued to GitHub to share the details of the IP address of the web page where photographs of Muslim women were shared, but the company has responded asking the enforcement agency to take the legal route to approach them under Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT). “GitHub has asked for a legal request to be raised under MLAT. The procedure to raise the request has been initiated,” an officer privy to the probe said.More Related News
