Within a couple of days of a minor boy being nabbed for hacking into an online class of a Sakinaka-based college and dancing naked, the Juhu police registered an FIR against an unknown hacker for playing porn videos during an online session of a Vile Parle-based college.

The Mumbai Cyber Cell has found that the accused in both the cases are minors and they committed the crime only for fun and entertainment.

Speaking to mid-day, an officer from the Juhu police station said, "In the last week, the Vile Parle-based college was conducting an online class when suddenly porn clips started playing. About 30-40 students and female professors were part of the class. The college approached us and we immediately registered a case against an unknown person."

Another officer from the Juhu police station said, "Investigation has revealed that the college system was hacked by an unknown person for playing porn clips just for fun and entertainment. We are tracking the accused's IP address and will arrest the person soon."

Around 15 days back a similar incident had occurred at a Sakinaka-based college in which a 15-year-old boy was arrested from Rajasthan.

An officer from the cyber cell said, "Many such incidents have occurred in the city recently. We have asked colleges to not share their IDs and passwords for online classes with people outside the system. We have also told them that before giving entry to students their details should be verified."
