The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Shyam Bihari Singh, a resident of Vati in Chhata area of Mathura, on Saturday for sexually assaulting minor children and possessing large volumes of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
The arrest followed searches at Singh’s residence on June 19, where officials seized multiple electronic devices containing incriminating evidence. Forensic examination of the material revealed images and videos showing minor children being sexually assaulted, harassed, and threatened.
The evidence was cross-verified with INTERPOL’s International Child Sexual Exploitation (ICSE) database and cyber tipline reports shared by Google with the Indian cyber crime coordination centre (I4C), operating under the Union Home Ministry.
Officials stated that the obscene photographs and videos were taken locally in Mathura, exposing the accused’s disturbing activities.
The CBI has registered a case and continues the investigation.
