Initially, the group was believed to be run by class 11th and 12th boys from schools in Delhi. In that group, boy’s share photographs of teenage girls, discuss about things which shouldn’t be discussed. Following the social media outrage Delhi police registered a case under 67, 67A of the Information Technology (IT) Act, and various sections of Indian Penal code.

How have we failed as a society?
Be it girls or boys, this incident shows we have failed as society. Apart from it, we also stereotype things. We always believe that “Galti ladke ki hogi”. Whenever any such news break out, we always put the blame on the males of the society. And never think a “girl” can also be the mastermind behind such acts. We have also failed as a society by not giving time for investigation and directly jumping on to the result what we feel is right. The recent events has surely slapped us and taught us a lesson, to not just jump to the conclusion rather try to understand both sides of the stories.
