Chennai, January 17: In a shocking incident, a couple was found exploiting their minor daughter by forcing her into sex work and uploading her intimate photos and videos online for financial gain in Chennai’s Raja Annamalai Puram. The horrifying case came to light when the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) filed a complaint, prompting an investigation. Acting on the complaint, the police seized the father’s phone, which contained secretly recorded obscene videos and photos of minor girls, leading to the couple’s arrest.
As reported by the Times of India, the police tracked the couple, a businessman and his wife, after obtaining data from a subscriber. Upon questioning the accused, the police seized the businessman’s mobile phone, which contained several disturbing video clips of minor girls, most of which were shot surreptitiously, seemingly without the victim’s consent. The investigation revealed that the man had filmed his own daughter after coercing her into sex work. Chennai Shocker: Woman Slits Throats of 2 Sons, Attempts Suicide After Family Feud; 1 Child Dead.
