A shocking sex racket in Mumbai has been exposed, involving the live broadcast of explicit content through a mobile app available on the Google Play Store. The app, known as ‘Pihu Official App,’ charged users exorbitant amounts, ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 10,000 per hour, to access live porn videos. Mumbai Police have taken swift action, arresting three individuals, including two women, who were connected to the operation of the app. Additionally, a case has been registered against the app’s owner.

Versova Police received information about the ‘Pihu Official App’ and promptly conducted a raid at a flat in the Four Bungalows area of Versova. During the operation, they apprehended three individuals: 20-year-old Tanisha Rajesh Kanojia, 27-year-old Rudra Narayan Raut, and 34-year-old Tamanna Arif Khan, who were allegedly involved in running the app.
Similar Case Happened in Tamil Nadu
According to a Mumbai Police official, the three arrested individuals have been charged with offenses related to obscene acts, distributing explicit content to young audiences, and promoting obscenity within society. These charges fall under the pertinent sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act.
This incident is reminiscent of a similar case that emerged in Tamil Nadu at the beginning of the year. The Central Bureau of Investigation arrested an individual from Thanjavur district in Tamil Nadu on charges of possessing and sharing child pornography material through electronic means. The 35-year-old suspect had reportedly sexually abused a child over a four-year period, recording nude videos and photographs of the minor, which were stored in an online cloud account. The arrest came following an alert received by the Tamil Nadu Police.
