Additional Sessions Judge Hargurvarinder Singh Jaggi was hearing a revision petition filed by Aditya Biswas, who challenged a trial court order directing framing of charges under Section 67B of the Information Technology Act against him.
According to the prosecution, a Facebook account named ‘Neem Biswas’ uploaded a 17-second video depicting a child engaged in a sexually explicit act.
Investigators traced the account through an IP address and mobile number and alleged that Biswas had created and operated it using a friend’s phone.
The accused challenged the charge-framing order, arguing that no Facebook or NCMEC official had been examined, making the CyberTipline report inadmissible hearsay.
He also contended that no mobile phone was recovered from him and that the prosecution’s case relied heavily on his disclosure statement.
