Police have launched an investigation after a 15-year-old girl from Pune city in Maharashtra allegedly received obscene messages and threats on a popular video conferencing application she has been using for online school sessions, an officer said on Sunday.
Besides the teenager, her father and the principal of the school also received similar messages, he said quoting the FIR.
The complainant girl had received similar messages in June this year, following which she and her parents approached the police, he said.
"However, the case was closed after nothing came up during the investigation conducted earlier. The girl didn't receive any such messages in the last three months, but started getting them again recently," the officer said.
He said the girl's father and the principal of her school have also received obscene e-mails.
"Besides the obscene messages, there are some messages in which the sender had issued life threats. The sender has also tried to incite the girl to commit suicide," the officer said.
He said a case has been registered against unidentified persons and the investigation is underway.
