Fake identity angle deepens iBomma piracy case

The ‘iBomma’ piracy case, which has created a stir across the Telugu states, has taken a dramatic turn with investigators uncovering shocking details about the prime suspect Immandi (Emmandi) Ravi’s fake identity.

The Hyderabad Cybercrime Police probing the case have found that Ravi allegedly operated his large-scale piracy network using forged identity documents belonging to an unsuspecting individual.

He further claimed that



though he possessed a Carribian Island citizenship, he was staying in Kukatpally in Hyderabad and did not go absconding as claimed by the police.

According to investigators, Ravi fraudulently obtained a PAN card and driving licence in the name of one of his friends V Prahlad. During earlier questioning, Ravi claimed that Prahlad was his former roommate and that he had used the name with consent. However, this claim proved to be false later during cross verification.
