Telangana police have made a significant breakthrough in their fight against online movie piracy. Officers arrested the person behind one of the most notorious illegal streaming websites that has been operating for years.
Immadi Ravi, who founded the popular piracy site iBomma, was taken into custody by Kukatpally CCS police yesterday evening. The arrest happened immediately after Ravi returned to India from France.
Police investigations revealed that Ravi had been managing his illegal operations from the Caribbean islands. This location allowed him to avoid detection while his website continued distributing copyrighted movies without permission.
The iBomma platform became a major headache for the film industry. Movie producers regularly filed complaints because the site would upload their films on the same day they hit theaters. This caused massive financial losses to filmmakers and distributors.
Multiple complaints had piled up against the website over several years. Film industry professionals repeatedly urged authorities to take action against these piracy networks that were hurting their business.
Ravi is currently in police custody while officers conduct their investigation. Authorities are working to uncover the full scope of his operations and identify any associates who may have helped run the illegal streaming service.
The entertainment industry has welcomed this arrest as a victory against digital piracy. Many hope this action will send a strong message to others involved in similar illegal activities.
Police officials plan to release complete details about the arrest and upcoming legal proceedings in the coming days. The case represents a major step forward in protecting intellectual property rights in the digital age.
