We present results of the first optical monitoring of the peculiar Active Galactic Nucleus IC 310. We performed photometric observations in multiple optical passbands using two optical telescopes operated by Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), Nainital, India between December 2014 and March 2015. IC 310 was found to be active throughout the monitoring period, displaying significant and apparently simultaneous flux variations in the optical B, V, R, and I passbands. Over this entire monitoring period we detected a progressive increase in the amplitude of variability with frequency with a range from 62.5% in the I band to 87% in B band. We briefly discuss various physical mechanisms likely to cause the observed variability of IC 310.
