A senior Delhi Police official informed India Today TV, “Acting on a complaint received on National Cybercrime Reporting Portal regarding Sulli Deals Mobile Application, an FIR under section 354-A of the Indian Penal Code has been registered by the Cybercrime unit.” The senior Delhi Police official further affirmed that the investigation has commenced and that the notices have been sent to GitHub to put forward relevant details related to this issue.
