In a piece of news that can be called absurd, notorious and sudden in equal measure, online classes in a Mumbai college were, all of a sudden, interrupted by appearance of pornographic clips that left students and teachers shocked in a way that none would’ve anticipated. Although, the notorious incident did shake up the administration of the Mumbai college, the perpetrators behind the episode is yet to be found. But that said, an FIR has been rightly lodged with the police regarding the occurrence of the bizarre incident.
Though here is what is truly shocking- those who were suddenly left surprised and shaken with the appearance of the pornographic content during the online classes in the Mumbai college weren’t just a handful of students. As a matter of fact, there were no fewer than sixty five (65) participants, and this included not only students- but even faculty members and teachers of the Mumbai college who were left stunned. How else can one describe the incident anyway?
No surprises then that the lecture, which had been going on quite a while had to come to a sudden and abrupt end. The only thing that one can gather from occurrences like this one in Mumbai is that while surely the World Wide Web is a blessing in so many ways, it also, at the same time, happens to be a playground of the immoral where notoriety runs rampant.
And while this was a sudden incident in the daily life of a college in Mumbai, it is not that similar instances have not occurred in other cities of the world in the recent past. Such notoriety is common in places like the United States, for instance.
Though that said, India isn’t a standalone venue for such unwanted episodes? Confused? Well, don’t be.
Do you want to know something even more baffling? A similar incident had occurred just days before in Rajasthan, an instance that left one and all stunned.
Although, what transpired on June 29, 2021 in Mumbai was a shocker- just days before another similar incident took place in the very city. But then, the miscreant responsible for the absurdity was arrested miles away from the state of Rajasthan! But then even this does not truly convey the depth of notoriety pertaining to the episode. What truly beckons some introspection about the wayward and unfortunate ways of the young and clueless in India is that, the person responsible for this episode, one which pertained to a college based in Sakinaka, was actually a 15-year-old boy.
Can you imagine? Now, if that is not a shocker, then what is?
Meanwhile, popular news platform India.com highlighted the episode that shocked the city of Mumbai:
According to a report by the Times of India, the management of the college in Vile Parle, filed an FIR against unknown persons for hacking the link and playing the objectionable video. The cyber cell is working on tracing the person who is suspected to have uploaded the objectionable video 40 minutes into the online lecture.

What’s regrettable is the fact that when such incidences occur, then in many such cases, young lives can be impacted. It could be the morphed image of an innocent young girl that could pop up on anyone’s screen, for instance, and this could impact a bright life rendering it irreversible damage. This is exactly where parents have to get actively involved in monitoring the Internet habits and whereabouts of their children.
