The Telangana High Court on Tuesday granted bail to Emmadi Ravi, also known as Ibomma Ravi, who was arrested on November 15 in connection with a multi-million movie piracy and online betting advertisement network linked to iBomma.
The Central Crime Station (CCS) police had arrested Ravi alleging that he was operating one of India’s largest movie piracy networks. According to officials, the network illegally leaked dozens of
copyrighted South Indian films and OTT content soon after their release.
Police described the arrest as a major breakthrough in their crackdown on digital piracy, stating that the operation had allegedly caused losses worth thousands of crores to the Telugu film industry.
Investigators also claimed that the platform generated revenue through online betting advertisements hosted on the website.
