Government has banned these Pakistan-based website and apps

Utilising the emergency powers under the IT Rules 2021, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting has issued directions for blocking of the website, two mobile applications, four social media accounts, and one smart TV app of Pakistan-based OTT Platform Vidly TV. The OTT Platform had recently released a web-series titled “Sevak: The Confessions”, which was found to be detrimental to national security, sovereignty and integrity of India. It impedes defence of India, security of the State, India’s friendly relations with foreign states, and public order in the country. Three episodes of the web-series have been released till date.

It is suspected that the web series is sponsored by the Pakistani information operations apparatus. First episode of the series was released on November 26, the anniversary of the Mumbai terror attacks (26/11/2008).
