The police have taken the initiative to investigate messaging app Telegram group chats which are purportedly circulating women’s photos without their consent.

“I received the information last night, so I have asked my officers to investigate this issue.

“There were no police reports, but we have taken the initiative to carry out an investigation on these accounts,” Bukit Aman Sexual, Women and Child Investigations Division (D11) principal assistant director Siti Kamsiah Hassan told Malaysiakini today.
