Untitled

Bois Locker room is a social media app, chat room scandal, allegedly involving a group of teenage boys from Delhi schools, created a storm on social media, when an Instagram user leaked chats from the group, including obscene images of around 15 girls. The controversy flared after several social media users led by Instagram user Nisha Nagpal posted screenshots of the leaked obscene chats and morphed photos of young girls on Instagram and Twitter. On Sunday, 6 May 2020 the hashtag #boyslockerroom was retweeted over 30,000 times. The DCW (Delhi Commission for Women) chief Swati Maliwal and the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights took notice of the issue and issued various notices to Instagram as well as delhi police for further information on the scandal.

Members of the group, said to be Class 11 and 12 students from some of Delhi's top schools, illegally posted photos of teenage girls without their consent along with comments which were rude and derogatory. A number of conversations purportedly showed members talking about sexual assault often against their own classmates, raising questions about normalising of rape, misogyny and objectification in schools, However subsequent police investigations revealed that the alleged sexual assault conversations were completely unrelated to the incident and got mixed while the leaked chats were posted to social media application, Instagram. According to social media accounts that posted the screenshots, members of "Bois Locker Room" even threatened to leak nude photographs of the women who reported them and launched a second group.
