MIB bans Pak-based OTT app

The ministry of information and broadcasting has blocked a website, two mobile applications, social media accounts, and OTT app of Pakistan-based Vidly TV, by invoking its emergency powers under the IT Rules 2021.
“The platform Vidly TV had released a web series titled Sevak: The Confessions on the anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks and was found to be detrimental to the national security, sovereignty and integrity of India,” the ministry said.
The ministry informed that three episodes of the web series have already been released until now.
The ministry suspects that “that the web series was sponsored by the Pakistani information operations apparatus.”
The ministry said that the web series took an ‘anti-India’ stance on events such as Operation Blue Star, demolition of the Babri Masjid at Ayodhya, the Malegaon and Samjhauta Express blasts, killing Graham Staines, etc.
