The Delhi Police cyber cell on Friday recorded statements of six students who were part of the controversial Instagram group chat 'Bois Locker Room'.

All six students were adults. Meanwhile, police officials questioned some of the juveniles involved in the group chat in their homes in front of their parents and NGO members.

The Delhi police arrested the admin of the group on Wednesday. The day before, a juvenile was arrested in connection with an Instagram chat group where schoolboys shared obscene messages objectionable pictures of minor girls.

The Police had said on Tuesday that it had identified 10 members of the group.

The Delhi Commission for Women had on Monday issued notice to Instagram and Delhi Police after massive outrage over the leaked group chats. 

The Instagram group came to light after a girl from south Delhi was able to gain access to the group's chats and shared the screenshots. 

The girl also shared the screenshot of the list of participants of the group who were seen sharing pictures of girls and passing lewd comments on them.

As the outrage gained traction, the Delhi Commission for Women swung into action. 

"I saw screenshots of 'Boys Locker Room' group on Instagram. This is a clear example of a gruesome criminal and rapist mindset," Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal said.

"We are issuing a notice to Instagram and Delhi Police. All the boys in this group should be arrested," she added.

In its notice to Instagram, the DCW asked the social media platform to provide various information about the administrators and participants of this group including username/handle name, email ID, IP address, location etc.
