Congress leader Sam Pitroda claims he was invited to speak at IIT Roorkee for an event on February 1 through a Zoom link attended by students and faculty members. \”Unfortunately, just minutes after my speech, a hacker infiltrated the video link and began streaming explicit, inappropriate content. We immediately shut down the video and ended the event,\” he wrote. The Centre quickly flagged the claim as false, pointing out that no IIT exists in Ranchi and that no official invitation had been extended to Mr Pit roda. The Ministry of Education issued a statement debunking Mr Pitro da’s claim. The ministry further stated that while there is an Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), the institute had confirmed that it had never invited Mrpitroda to any conference or seminar, whether physically or virtually. The controversy erupted after he claimed that he had addressed students at \”IIT Ranchi\” when someone hacked into the session and played pornographic content. He said in the video: \”Recently, I was speaking at Ranchi IIT to several hundred students… and someone hacked in and started showing pornography\”
