India outlaws the Pakistan-based streaming service Vidly TV.
- On November 26, the anniversary of the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, the first episode of the series was made available.
- The web series depicted an anti-India narrative on delicate historical events and topics that are significant to the country.
On Monday, the Pakistan-based OTT Platform Vidly TV's website, two mobile applications, four social media accounts, and one smart TV app were ordered to be blocked in accordance with the IT Rules 2021. Recently, the OTT Platform produced the web series 'Sevak: The Confessions,' which was later determined to be harmful to India's sovereignty, integrity, and national security as well as its defence, security, friendly ties with other countries, and public order. The online series has had three episodes released so far.
The Pakistani information operations apparatus was thought to be funding the online series. On November 26, the anniversary of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai in 2008, the first episode of the series was made available.
The web series depicted an anti-India narrative on sensitive historical events and issues of national significance, such as Operation Blue Star and its aftermath, the destruction of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, the murder of a Christian missionary named Graham Staines, the blasts at Malegaon and the Samjhauta Express, the inter-state river water dispute over the Sutlej Yamuna Link canal, etc.
A Hindu priestess is seen saying that Hindu children must grow up to 'kill' Muslims, Christians, and Sikhs in order to purge the motherland of their 'filthy' existence in one of the scenes from the web series, which was created with the intention of sowing hatred and division among Indian communities.
According to another account, Scheduled Castes are being forced to continue practising Hinduism. The 1984 anti-Sikh riots were depicted as a Hindu attack on Sikhs using religious symbols.
