“A notice has been sent to the police to immediately arrest the man who committed this disgusting and shameless act. Will not leave this man!” Maliwal said in a video which she posted on X.

“The complainant has alleged that some persons are selling online pornographic pictures of Hindu goddesses and that he has been receiving some email regarding the same. The alleged email also contains some sample pictures of goddesses depicted in an obscene manner,” DCW said in a statement.
