This paper seeks to answer the following research questions: Kullu Girl Pooja Kashyap Mms
Searching for specific "MMS" or viral private videos often leads to non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII), the dissemination of which is a serious criminal offense in India.

In early 2023, an alleged “MMS” (multimedia messaging service) involving a young woman from Kullu, Himachal Pradesh—identified in media reports as Pooja Kashyap —went viral on social‑media platforms, sparking intense public debate, police investigations, and judicial scrutiny. This paper examines the incident through interdisciplinary lenses: (i) privacy and data‑protection law in India, (ii) the criminalization of non‑consensual distribution of intimate images (“revenge porn”), (iii) gendered media narratives, and (iv) the role of digital platforms in curbing harmful content. By analysing court documents, police reports, media coverage, and scholarly commentary, the study highlights how the case illustrates gaps in existing legislation, the challenges of evidence preservation, and the social stigmatization of victims. The paper concludes with policy recommendations aimed at strengthening legal safeguards, improving law‑enforcement response, and fostering responsible digital citizenship.
The present case study builds on these strands by providing a micro‑level examination of one individual’s pathway through the MMS programme.
