Is online selling of adult toys legal in India


28-May-2023 (In Civil Law)
I stumbled upon a website, based in Mumbai, selling masturbation toys (male strokers). Is that legal in India? If not, whom can I report this to? Is there an email id/ contact us form by a govt agency that I can use? And does that dept actually have a record of following up on such complaints? Thanks.

Section 292 of the Indian Penal Code prevents the sale of any material that is obscene in India. However, online shopping websites have been selling adult products and Sex Toys openly and people have even been buying them in large numbers. So there is no exact explanation if selling sex toys in India is banned.
