Maharashtra cyber cell takes quick action in harassment case linked to Akshay Kumar's daughter

The Maharashtra Cyber department has taken quick action in the cyber harassment case following Akshay Kumar’s daughtetr's complaint. The accused allegedly engaged in online harassment and asked her to share inappropriate and offensive content.

The girl was very brave and informed her parents: Mumbai police on Akshay Kumar's daughter

In a recent press conference, Yashasvi Yadav, Additional Director General of Police, Maharashtra Cyber department, has informed that they have handled the situation. The young girl was targeted when she was playing an online game. A message popped on her screen which claimed to have asked for her inappropriate photographs. 

Explaining the incident Akshay said, “My daughter was playing a video game... you are playing with an unknown stranger. When you are playing, you get a message saying, ‘Thank you, that was great’ or ‘You are doing so good’, very courteous messages... Suddenly, the person said, ‘Where are you from?’ She wrote, ‘Mumbai’. And then everything was normal again.”

Following the incident, the Maharashtra Cyber Department has organised an awareness session at the R.D. National College in Mumbai. The session was based on alerting the students about the dark side of social media today. It helped in spreading awareness about how to stay safe and if something similar happens how to deal with it.

During the session, speaking about the case, ADG Yadav at the R.D. National College said, “He (Akshay Kumar) had a very shocking story to share with us. He said that his own daughter was being sextorted. The girl was very brave and informed her parents. Through her parents, we received this information, and that is how we handled the case.”

As the world grows closer with social media, children are often the most vulnerable. It’s essential to equip this fully digital-native generation with the awareness and skills to navigate risks like phishing, fraud, bullying, and other forms of cyber crime safely.
