The Royal Bhutan Police (RBP) is aware of videos circulating on social media depicting an incident involving school-going children. The matter has been reported to the police and is currently under investigation.
As the case is under active investigation, the RBP urges the public to refrain from speculation, sharing unverified information, or making comments that may prejudice the investigation or cause further harm to the children involved. Due process of law will be followed, and appropriate action will be taken in accordance with the law.
The RBP further requests all individuals to immediately cease sharing, forwarding, reposting, downloading, publishing, or commenting on the videos, images, or any related content concerning the incident. The dissemination of content involving children in a manner that violates their rights, compromises their privacy and dignity, or otherwise contravenes the law may constitute an offence and attract legal action and penal sanctions under the relevant laws of Bhutan.
Individuals who have already shared such content are urged to remove it immediately from all social media platforms, and messaging applications.
The RBP appeals to all members of the public to act responsibly, respect and protect the rights and dignity of the children concerned, and allow the relevant authorities to conduct a fair, impartial, and thorough investigation.
