India, Nov. 4 -- Investigation into a hacking racket that uploaded CCTV footage of women undergoing gynaecological checkups at a hospital in Gujarat to porn sites revealed the real extent of the sinister network spanning across the country.

The scandal came to light in February this year when revealing footage of women from Payal Maternity Home in Rajkot was uploaded to porn sites and floated in Telegram groups for sale. At the time, the hospital authorities stated that their CCTV servers had been hacked.

"I don't know how the hospital videos went viral. Our CCTV server seems to have been hacked. However, we are also unaware of why this happened and will inform the police," Dr Amit Akbari, who works at the hospital, had said.
