Producer Ekta Kapoor released a public statement clarifying her position regarding the ALTT streaming platform. The government recently prohibited ALTT alongside 23 additional digital entertainment applications for distributing adult content. Kapoor emphasized that both she and her mother, Shobha Kapoor, terminated their involvement with ALTT in June 2021. Balaji Telefilms Limited assumed control of ALTT operations following a corporate merger approved by the National Company Law Tribunal. The media executive denied any current connection to the platform despite widespread reports linking her name to the controversy.
Authorities directed internet service providers to block access to 25 streaming platforms on July 25th. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting cited violations of the Information Technology Act and digital media regulations. Popular applications such as Ullu and Desiflix faced similar restrictions for broadcasting sexually explicit material. These platforms violated multiple statutes governing indecent content representation and cultural standards. The Supreme Court previously addressed petitions demanding stricter controls on adult content across digital media platforms.
