Despite repeated reminders sent by the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell (CCIC) of the Chandigarh Police, the Central Forensic Sciences Laboratory (CFSL) has failed to inform the police if a photograph of former Deputy Commissioner of UT, Mohammed Shayin, was morphed or not. Sources in the police said that the CFSL was supposed to submit a report on the same in the first week of April.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), CCIC, Deepak Yadav, said the police had been sending repeated reminders to CFSL so that the investigation could be proceeded but to no avail. The DSP added that police were not being able to trace the server from where the picture was circulated. However, he said, that the “properties” of the objectionable photo, purportedly of the DC with a woman officer of UT, confirmed that the picture had been taken from a Samsung mobile phone. “But, even if the picture was edited on a computer, the properties of the picture will still show that it was taken from a mobile,” added the DSP.

The DC filed a complaint on November 14, 2014, at the Sector 17 police station and a case was registered under sections 465 (forgery), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating) and 469 (forgery for purpose of harming reputation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and sections 66 (hacking), 67 (publishing of information which is obscene in electronic form) and 71 (misrepresentation) of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
A few days later, the woman officer who was in the picture, went on a long leave.
