After the murder of a teacher by a minor student in Sivasagar town of Assam, the police requested the public to not share the photographs of the minor on social media. The state police warned of legal action for sharing information that discloses the identity of a child in conflict with law under the Juvenile Justice Act. The JJ Act protects the children in conflict with law from circulation of their images or any other information that may publicly reveal the identity of the child, in social or any other public media under Section 74 of the Act.
