NE DELHI: Reflecting on the sharp increase in cybercrime against women and children over the years, a parliamentary committee has recommended that the govt should initiate structured and time-bound examination for formulation of a “comprehensive and gender-sensitive cybercrime legislation”.In its report on “Cyber Crimes and Cyber safety of Women” presented in Parliament on Monday, the Committee on the Empowerment of Women also recommended introducing age-appropriate regulations and calibrated usage limits on social media platforms to safeguard children and adolescents from adverse psychological impact and safety-by-design standards to ensure responsible digital engagement.It highlighted that NCRB data reflects a nearly 239% increase in cybercrime against women and multi-fold rise in cases involving children between 2017 and 2022, which underscores the seriousness of the situation.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Iran vows tit-for-tat strike after Trump’s 48hr ultimatum, threatens to hit US-Israel energy facilityIf America strikes us, we should attack Indian cities like Delhi and Mumbai: Ex-Pak envoyTrump Pauses Planned Strikes: US halts Iran attack plan for 5 days; talks called very good and productiveA significant rise in such crimes during COVID-19 pandemic reflected higher digital dependence. National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP) has reported more than 2.48 lakh complaints related to women and children between 2019 and April 2025.The committee chaired by BJP Lok Sabha MP Dr D Purandeswari said that the exponential surge in complaints recorded on NCRP indicates growing awareness as well as institutional action. However, it also noted the phenomenon of under-reporting, driven by fear, stigma and limited digital literacy, particularly among young girls, rural women and socio-economically vulnerable groups.The report is based on inputs received from the ministry of home affairs, ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY), Cyber Peace Foundation, an NGO, cyber experts from CDAC and social media intermediaries (Google & Meta).The committee highlighted that cyber offences impacting women and children are presently addressed through multiple statutes, including Information Technology Act, 2000; Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; POCSO Act, 2012; and Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986. “These provisions collectively cover a wide spectrum of offences. However, their dispersed nature often results in overlapping mandates, interpretational ambiguities, uneven enforcement and procedural delays,” it said.Against this backdrop, it emphasised the need for a comprehensive cybercrime law, complementing and harmonising existing statutes rather than abruptly replacing them.The committee also called for digital platforms, particularly social media, messaging, and hosting services being held to higher accountability standards. In addition, it strongly recommended that mandatory KYC-based verification be introduced across all social media, dating and gaming platforms to curb the menace of fake profiles, impersonation and anonymous harassment.“Platforms must carry out periodic re-verification and maintain high-risk flags for accounts repeatedly reported for abuse. Strict licensing norms and age-verification protocols must be established for dating and gaming apps, with penalties for platforms that fail to protect women and minors from fraudulent or coercive practices,” it recommended.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’India Moving Ahead With Resolve’: PM Modi’s Big Message On West Asia Conflict’Never Faced Such Humiliation’: Jaya Bachchan Slams VIP Culture In RS, Flags Traffic DisruptionsUS Finally Ready For De-Escalation?

Nirav Modi TOI correspondent from London: Fugitive jeweller Nirav Modi appeared in person at the London circuit commercial court on Monday to fight another legal battle — a claim against him of over Rs 100 crore by Bank of India.He was a litigant in person until last week, but at the eleventh hour hired a barrister, Vivek Kapoor of 39 Essex Chambers. Nirav arrived 90 minutes late in a prison van dressed in a black suit and white open-neck shirt and sat in a Victorian-era dock surrounded by metal bars.The case centres around a loan Bank of India gave Nirav’s company Firestar Diamond FZE in Dubai on July 2, 2012. Originally it was for million (about Rs 46 crore), increased to million (close to Rs 140 crore) in 2013, and reduced to million (approximately Rs 112 crore) in 2017.

As the loan was not repaid on demand when terminated in early 2018, at the time allegations of Nirav’s fraud on Punjab National Bank surfaced, on May 9, 2018 the bank filed a claim in the HC against Firestar, and on Oct 22, 2018 Nirav was added as a party to the claim.On March 8, 2024, the bank was granted summary judgment against Firestar of .4 million (about Rs 78 crore). This has not been paid and the two corporate guarantors are in liquidation.On Oct 2, 2025, the bank issued a letter of demand to Nirav in relation to the debt. The bank claims it also sent a demand on April 6, 2018, but Kapoor disputed his, claiming this demand was never served on Nirav, saying the Oct demand was “time-barred” under law. He also argued the guarantee was defective and no “default event” had occurred when the termination of the loan took place.The bank says Nirav now owes it in excess of .7 million (over Rs 100 crore), including interest.Kapoor is calling for the case to be dismissed. He said the bank’s claim is “riddled with deficiencies and flaws” and the bank was using the “media allegations of fraud allegations” as an “excuse to gloss over the flaws in the bank’s case.”Tom Beasley, representing the bank, argued that it had the right to terminate the loan as there were allegations from Jan 2018 that Nirav owed PNB over billion, potentially having an adverse affect on his ability to repay their loan.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’India Moving Ahead With Resolve’: PM Modi’s Big Message On West Asia Conflict’Never Faced Such Humiliation’: Jaya Bachchan Slams VIP Culture In RS, Flags Traffic DisruptionsUS Finally Ready For De-Escalation?
