In response to this concern, the apex child rights body has summoned Mira Chatt, YouTube India's Head of Government Affairs and Public Policy, to appear in person on January 15, 2024.

In a letter addressed to Mira Chatt, Priyank Kanoongo, the chief of NCPCR, highlighted the alarming trend observed on YouTube channels depicting potentially indecent acts.

Under Section 14 of the CPCR Act, 2005, the commission possesses powers akin to a civil court, allowing it to summon individuals, enforce attendance, and examine them on oath. In accordance with these powers, YouTube India is mandated to provide a comprehensive list of channels featuring such content, as well as a list of channels involving minors.

The commission underscored the urgency of this matter, requiring YouTube India's appearance at 4 pm on January 15, 2024. Failure to comply with this order may lead to consequences outlined in the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. This development marks a crucial step in addressing concerns about child safety and potential harm arising from inappropriate content on online platforms.
