The news of the Delhi police cyber cell registering FIR against an app for sharing pictures of women without their consent, had given some hope, that the wheels of justice, though slow, do turn afterall. It had taken several women, following up with the Delhi Commission of Women (DCW) and Swati Maliwal, as chairperson of DCW summoning the DCP of the Delhi Police Cyber Cell, for the FIRs to be eventually filed against several unnamed persons. A complaint was also filed by the National Commission of Women. A notice was also sent to the web platform that hosted this app – GitHub.
