Thiruvananthapuram: The Cyber Crime police registered a case on the basis of the offensive remarks made in the social media against the teachers who led online classes aired through KITE Victers channel.
The action was taken based on the complaint filed by the Chief Executive Officer of Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) to ADGP Manoj Abraham.
The State Youth Commission also charged a suo motu case on the incident in which the teachers were insulted through various social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and WhatsApp. Chintha Jerome, the chairperson of Youth Commission, noted in a Facebook post that those who make derogatory comments about the teachers who lead the online classes have a perverted mind and are a disgrace to Kerala and its culture.
Strict action should be taken against those who insult others, when the government and the teachers are working hard during a crisis time. The Youth Commission has also asked the State Police Chief to arrest the culprits as soon as possible and take legal action against them. Also the commission asked to submit within two weeks a report regarding the action taken.
Various trolls and offensive pictures of female teachers leading online classes were shared through social media platforms after the online classes started in the state the other day.
Also many fake accounts in the name of the teachers were created on Instagram. Numerous indecent comments were posted below the YouTube channel of Victers channel. With this, Victers turned off the comment box of many videos.
