Chaudhary said that the police found in the investigation that it was someone from the family who was doing all this. The police found that the obscene content was posted from a smartphone which belonged to the uncle of the boy. He added that the boy used the phone quite frequently. 


“When parents told us about this, we asked the family members to monitor the activities of their son, and when parents interrogated him strictly, he admitted that he was doing it at the behest of a hacker but later said that he himself was doing all this," Chaudhary was quoted as saying in a report by Free Press Journal.
