Thus the private group openly challenges the set social norms and moral standards of the society by disgracing the modesty of women, integrity of their body, morality of the society, the Commission said.
Such activity on social media also amounts to breach of privacy and confidentiality, misrepresentation, publication of fraudulent purpose, publishing of private image of others without consent as if there is no rule of law to monitor such serious cyber crime, it said.
It is also a frontal attack to cyber security thereby victimising many families, innocent women who are online with good intention, the Commission added.
Condemning the activities on the Facebook group, the Commission directed the Director General of Police, Manipur to arrest the page admin which goes by the name 'Yumnam Piba' and his associates and to delete the account.
