"NCPCR Criticizes Ullu App for Explicit Content Aimed at Children, Calls for Government Inquiry"

Can I close the Ullu app? Ullu app under criticism from NCPCR for content that may be offensive to children: The NCPCR has written to the IT ministry to inquire about Ullu-related policy certification and regulations.
The NCPCR has accused Ullu App of disseminating sexually explicit and otherwise offensive materials and has urged the government to investigate and punish the company. In a letter sent to the minister of information technology, NCPCR sought details on the policies and certifications that govern these types of applications.

"The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR)" (hence 'the Commission') is an official entity established to safeguard children's rights and associated issues in the nation under Section 3 of the Commission for Protection of Child Rights (CPCR) Act, 2005. According to the NCPCR letter, the Commission is also obligated to oversee the effective and proper execution of three statutes: the Right to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act of 2009, the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act of 2015, and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act of 2012.

Gems of Bollywood have filed a complaint with the Commission, claiming that the 'Ullu App,' available on the Play Store and iOS, secretly provides members, especially youngsters, with exceedingly indecent and inappropriate information. There doesn't seem to be any know-your-customer requirement for downloading or seeing any material that the app makes available to its private group, and it's freely accessible on Google and Apple," it said.
Additionally, the child rights organisation said that certain programmes specifically target school-aged children by including sexually explicit content in their plots and scenes. The complainant has also sent screenshots of one of the programmes that depicts sexual intercourse between schoolchildren. The given copy of the complaint should suffice as an explanation.

The absence of a Know Your Customer (KYC) or other age verification mechanism in several apps has been noted, allowing children easy access to sexual material. "Section 11 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012" states that such accessibility is considered a direct infringement.
