A complaint was registered against the petitioner alleging that he viewed a website containing pornographic material of children. This is noticed by the cyber Tipline, which placed an alert on its Tipline with regard to the IP address. IP address led to the mobile number of the petitioner and then to his address. The complaint was registered two months after the above incident took place. Hence, an FIR was lodged against the petitioner as watching child pornography is an offence under Section 67B of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act).
