Operation Blackface

Operation Blackface is an initiative of Maharashtra’s cyber police to fight CSAM or Child Sexual Abuse Material. Under this operation, the police act on tip-offs from the NCRB to forward complaints to districts where the FIRs are registered against the accused. In this year alone, about 50 persons have been arrested under this operation. Recently, the state police acquired a software from Interpol to help track down child pornography online.
