Telangana police have intensified their crackdown on movie piracy following a surge in complaints from filmmakers. One of the most prominent names in these complaints has been Ibomma, a website notorious for leaking newly released Telugu and Indian movies within hours of release. In a significant development, authorities have confirmed the arrest of the platform’s founder, Immadi Ravi, marking a major breakthrough in ongoing anti-piracy operations.
According to early reports, Ravi was taken into custody by the Kukatpally CCS police after he landed in Hyderabad from France late last night. Officials revealed that he had been operating the piracy network from the Caribbean islands, making it difficult for law enforcement to track his movements and digital footprint. His return to India provided an opportunity for the police to act swiftly, and he was arrested at the airport before he could leave again.
Producers from the Telugu film industry have long raised concerns about Ibomma for leaking films on the day of release, resulting in major financial losses for production houses and distributors. Multiple cases were filed, prompting the police to widen their investigation into the website’s operations and funding channels. With Ravi now in custody, officials are questioning him about the network’s international links, server locations, and the team involved in running the illegal platform. More details about the interrogation, legal proceedings, and further arrests are expected to be announced soon as the investigation progresses.
