It has come to the notice of the MCPCR that various print and electronic media outlets, including social media, are indiscriminately disclosing the identity of the child of Kangujam Kanarjit who has been arrested from Delhi by a joint team of Delhi and Manipur Police, MCPCR stated.

It further stated that the disclosure of the identity of a child directly infringes the rights of a child, particularly the general principles such as Section 3 (xi) – Principle of Right to Privacy and Confidentiality under Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. Further, disclosure of a child's identity in connection with a legal proceeding is punishable under Section 74 of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, it added.
