Telegram channels ensure that women in India are not safe – not in hospitals, not in the Kumbh, and not even online. A horrifying digital black market has been exposed where Telegram channels and YouTube accounts sell hacked videos of women in their most vulnerable moments.
From maternity wards to beauty parlors to the sacred waters of the Maha Kumbh – nowhere was safe. Digital Criminals monetized the privacy of Indian mothers and daughters. However, these weren’t a result of digital accidents orleaks. This was an organized industry, fueled by perverts willing to pay for stolen dignity.

The Gujarat, Rajkot, and Uttar Pradesh police have arrested multiple individuals. However, the criminals they caught are only the tip of the iceberg. The real masterminds remain hidden – hackers from within India and abroad who infiltrated CCTV systems recorded women, and sold their footage like cheap entertainment.
This is not just a crime. This is digital sexual exploitation on an industrial scale.
Case 1: Labour Room Horror – Women Violated in Maternity Wards
Hospitals are meant to be safe spaces. But for the women who sought medical care at Payal Maternity Home in Rajkot, their most personal moments were recorded, sold, and consumed by a sick digital audience.
Hackers breached the hospital’s CCTV system to steal security camera videos of women in labor, being examined by doctors, receiving injections, and undergoing medical procedures.
These deeply private moments were packaged and sold on Telegram for just ₹2,000 per clip. Gujarat Police arrested three men – Prajwal Taily, Praj Patil, and Chandra Prakash – for running this racket. However, they weren’t the masterminds. They were mere middlemen in a larger global crime network. So, who are the real culprits? International hackers who provided these videos to Indian perverts. Thus, the footage wasn’t leaked by accident. It was stolen, curated, and marketed.
These criminals didn’t just exploit privacy. They turned pregnancy and childbirth into a peep show for the deranged.
Case 2: Kumbh Mela – Sacred Waters, Dirty Intentions
Even the holiest gathering in Hinduism wasn’t spared. The 2025 Mahakumbh Mela, where millions come to seek spiritual purification, became a hunting ground for digital predators. Hidden cameras recorded female devotees bathing and changing clothes by the riverside. The footage was secretly uploaded to Instagram and Telegram channels under names like “Ganga River Open Bathing Group” and “Hidden Bath Videos Group.”. For just ₹999–₹1,500, perverts could buy their fill of stolen moments.

The Uttar Pradesh Police acted swiftly:
- February 17: A case was registered against an Instagram account that posted these videos.
- February 19: Another case was filed against a Telegram channel openly selling these clips.

But this raises a chilling question—how many women have been recorded without their knowledge? These weren’t isolated incidents. This was a targeted attack on Hindu women, turning their sacred rituals into content for digital predators.

Not just hospitals. Not just temples. Even beauty parlors became a stage for this digital flesh trade. Hidden cameras recorded women changing clothes, and getting facials, or hair treatments. Giving birth was filmed and sold by these perverts. Moreover, getting medical treatment was recorded. And even security videos female devotees of Kumbh Snan were hacked. It seems even using apublic toilet is not safe for women now!

And all this footage was neatly categorized and sold like a menu:
- Labor Room Videos – ₹999 per package
- Ladies’ Parlour Videos – ₹1,500 per package
- Kumbh Bathing Videos – ₹999–₹1,500 per package
Thus, for less than the price of a fancy dinner, someone could buy the stolen privacy of Indian women. And the victims never knew they were being watched. They never consented. However, their dignity was sold neatly with a price tag on Telegram, YouTube, and Instagram.
Digital Flesh Trade – Who is to Blame?
Who should the women of Bharat blame? The criminals running this racket? Or the hackers who stole the footage? Or the men who paid for it?
The digital flesh trade thrived because there was a demand from the deranged minds of unbalanced men.
Every person who purchased these videos is just as guilty as the hackers who stole them. And what about Telegram, Instagram, and YouTube? These platforms allowed this industry to grow under their nose. The videos were available for days before action was taken. Why weren’t Telegram groups shut down immediately? Why did Instagram allow such content to circulate?
The truth is simple: these social media platforms act swiftly on “political” content in the name of social harmony.
However, they turn a blind eye to the brazen act of flesh trade.
Unfortunately, the admins of these platforms and “self-styled moral police” act only when the police comes knocking. Thus, women of Bharat asks – where is there pro-active censorship of such obviously depraved content? Is censorship only limited to deleting pro-BJP and pro-Hindu content?
The Battle for Women’s Digital Safety
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated digitla crime. The increased digital influence on daily lives puts women and their dignity in the grey zone. Thus, this digital flesh trade is an organized attack on Indian women. While Gujarat and UP police have arrested a few culprits, the larger network remains untouched. Until strict action is taken against both sellers and buyers, this digital horror will continue.
Thus, the final question is – How many more hospitals, temples, and homes will be violated before India wakes up to this digital nightmare?
