Days after a Hyderabad-based couple was arrested for live-streaming their sexual activities, it has come to light that they resorted to such acts in order to earn extra money to pay tuition fees of their two daughters.
The husband-wife duo, who displayed sexual acts on a mobile app, was in dire need of money, police said on Friday.
According to a report in NDTV, the couple could not afford the college fees of their daughters’, both of whom are bright students. The NDTV report suggested that one of them is a B.Tech student ( second year) while the another recently cleared intermediate exam by securing 468 out of 470 marks and was preparing to take admission in college.
Their financial condition worsened as the father of the girls, who is an auto driver, was reportedly suffering from ill health and couldn’t afford the medical expenses, the police said.
The couple were caught red-handed by police when they raided their house in Amberpet on June 17, the Times Of India reported. The cops seized several equipment, including high definition cameras, from their possession.
Acting on a tip-off, the Hyderabad Police raided their Amberpet residence, where they uncovered the couple’s illicit operation. Operating under the alias Sweety Telugu Couple 2027, the duo reportedly streamed explicit content online and accepted payments in exchange for private access to their videos.
According to The Free Press Journal, the racket had been active for the past four months, during which the couple discreetly promoted their videos across multiple social media platforms. The content, which featured nudity and explicit sexual material, was sold for a fee ranging from Rs 500 to Rs 2,000.
Police stated that their earnings from this activity exceeded the income the man made from driving an auto. To conceal their identities, the couple reportedly wore masks during the videos. The content was mainly purchased by young app users.
The couple has been booked under relevant sections of the Information Technology Act. Meanwhile, authorities have also issued notices to individuals who bought videos from the couple, and an investigation is currently underway.
