14 Apr
Summary
- A local Coimbatore channel illegally broadcast Thalapathy Vijay's unreleased film.
- The channel owner was arrested and equipment seized following a police complaint.
- This incident follows a previous leak of film clips and pirated links online.
An unauthorized broadcast of Thalapathy Vijay's film 'Jana Nayagan' occurred on a local television channel in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The channel's owner, S Palanisamy, was arrested by the Coimbatore District Police for airing the film on April 11, which was still pending clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification. This action was taken after a complaint from Mohanapriya, a deputy secretary of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party. Police confirmed the film had been illegally accessed and broadcast.
Authorities seized equipment, including computers and hard disks, and sealed the channel's office. The police have issued a stern warning against illegal distribution of copyrighted content and urged the public to report such activities. This incident follows a separate event on April 9, where clips and pirated links of 'Jana Nayagan' were leaked online, prompting the production house to request takedowns. Tamil Nadu cyber crime subsequently arrested six individuals and removed over 300 illegal links.
