The Union government has ordered access to five OTT platforms to be blocked, after officials alleged these services were streaming obscene material. Authorities say the action was taken on 25 February under existing digital content rules to protect public decency and broader national interests.
Officials confirmed that the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting initiated the blocking process through the standard legal route. ANI reported the decision on X, posting: “Five obscene OTT platforms have been blocked by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting – MoodXVIP, Koyal Playpro, Digi Movieplex, Feel and Jugnu: Government Sources.”
