Noida Couple's Webcam Scandal: ED Cracks Down on International Porn Network

The Enforcement Directorate raided a Noida couple's premises, accused of creating adult videos for Cyprus-based porn sites. They allegedly used misleading bank codes to receive payments. A total of Rs 15.66 crore has been identified in their accounts. The couple took 75% of earnings, sharing the rest with hired models.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a raid on a Noida-based couple's home on Friday, uncovering an alleged operation where adult videos were produced featuring models over webcams. These videos were reportedly supplied to a Cyprus-based company known for running international pornographic websites, according to official sources.

The investigation, carried out under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), targets Subdigi Ventures Private Limited, run by the implicated couple. The couple's activities allegedly included operating an adult webcam streaming studio from their home for the Cyprus company, Technius Limited, which owns adult platforms like Xhamster and Stripchat.

Officials disclosed that the couple manipulated bank processes by misrepresenting the purpose of foreign remittances as advertising and research services. Thus far, Rs 15.66 crore have been traced in their accounts, with 75% retained by the couple and the remainder distributed to models, who were recruited through social media advertisements.
