Mumbai: Mira Road couple who streamed sexual act live for a fee booked

MUMBAI: A Mira Road couple, in their 30s, have been booked for live-streaming sexual acts to paid subscribers. The police said they are interrogating the couple. While a case has been registered, no arrest has been made so far.
The matter came to light when the complainant, a singer, came across an advertisement on pornographic content while browsing the Internet last December. What got his attention was a couple in the teaser video whom he recognised.
Officials of Naya Nagar police station said that the complainant created a login id, paid the subscription fee and got onto the link that featured live sexual shows. He identified the couple as Mira Road residents. The couple streamed live sex and even sought viewers’ suggestions.
The police said that live streaming of sexual acts has gone up since the lockdown. Officials said that a number of couples were found in such acts on social media platforms. Police said that the sexual acts are also used to sell libido pills.
Police said they are ascertaining if the acts were done under duress. They are also verifying if the couple have any role in prostitution racket in which a woman who was running the online racket was arrested recently. Photos of girls were sent to customers on their cellphones and sexual acts were carried out in hotels.
