A student in Kerala has been taken into custody on charges of fabricating and distributing morphed images of teachers through digital platforms, police said on Thursday. The arrest follows a complaint filed by school authorities after the doctored photographs began circulating among the student community.
Investigating officers have indicated that the case extends beyond a single individual, with several other young people currently under scrutiny as part of the broader inquiry. Police are examining the extent of the image circulation and identifying all those involved in the creation and distribution of the altered content.
The incident highlights growing concerns among educational institutions across India regarding the misuse of digital technology and social media by students. School authorities have expressed alarm over the use of morphing tools to create defamatory content targeting faculty members.
Police have appealed to parents and guardians to monitor children's online activities and cautioned students against engaging in such practices. Further arrests are not ruled out as the investigation progresses, officials said.
