Tamil Nadu police have hinted that a technical glitch might have led to the leak of the First Information Report (FIR) related to a sexual assault case involving a university in the state.
The FIR, detailing allegations of sexual assault at a prominent Tamil Nadu university, was reportedly leaked on social media earlier this week. Authorities have launched an investigation into how the confidential document became publicly accessible.
Initial police inquiries suggest a technical glitch, potentially involving unauthorized access or data breaches, might be responsible for the leak. Officials have begun reviewing digital systems and networks to identify the source of the issue and ensure data security measures are strengthened.
Police have urged the public and media to refrain from sharing sensitive information related to ongoing investigations. Authorities have emphasized that maintaining confidentiality is crucial in such cases to protect the rights of victims and ensure a fair probe.
The university has also been directed to enhance its cybersecurity protocols to prevent future incidents of data breaches. Further updates on the investigation and preventive measures are expected soon.
