Watching adult content in private, including hentai, is not illegal in India. But if the content shows characters who are underage or look like minors, it can be risky under child protection laws. Watching such content might not lead to arrest, but storing or sharing it is punishable. Best to avoid such material. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
