Central Crime Branch (CEN) police have registered an FIR against 28 social media accounts for allegedly promoting viral obscene videos and redirecting users to pornographic websites through comments, DMs, and bio links.
The Central Crime Branch (CEN) police have taken serious note of the growing circulation and promotion of obscene videos on social media platforms and have registered a case against multiple accounts involved in the activity.
According to the complaint, several social media users were allegedly posting short clips and screenshots of obscene videos that were already circulating online. These posts were used as promotional content to attract viewers by claiming access to “19-minute,” “40-minute,” and “55-minute” videos.
The accused accounts allegedly encouraged users to comment or send direct messages to receive the full videos. In many cases, posts carried captions such as “video available, DM now” or “link in bio”, with links uploaded on profile pages.

Investigators found that these links were directly redirecting users to pornographic websites. Officials noted that such posts were deliberately designed to exploit curiosity and increase traffic to obscene platforms.
Police stated that social media is used by people of all age groups, including children. Even casual curiosity was leading many users to open these links, unintentionally exposing minors and other users to explicit content. Authorities observed that this trend was increasingly drawing young users towards adult websites, raising serious concerns about digital safety.
