Apart from this, another complaint was filed at a police station in North Delhi by a parent in connection with this Instagram group. Speaking to IANS over the phone Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Cyber Crime, Anish Roy said, "We have asked Instagram to share the details of the members and admin of the said group, including their name, IP addresses etc." She wrote, "A group of south delhi guys aged 17-18 types have this ig gc named "boy's locker room" where they shit on, objectify and morph pictures of girls their age.
