New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday directed CBI to begin probe into two rape videos that were circulating on social media, saying it's a serious issue.

Earlier this month, a Hyderabad-based activist, Sunitha Krishnan, uploaded the videos on YouTube, asking people to help identify the rapists what she called #ShameTheRapistCampaign.
A day after the videos were uploaded, stones were thrown at the activist’s car in Charminar area in Hyderabad.
However, the videos, believed to be six months old, were removed by YouTube, saying it violates terms of service.
Krishnan, who is herself a rape survivor, had posted two separate videos. In one of the videos, five men were seen smiling as they took turns to gangrape a woman even as she pleaded to let her go.
