Of late, hundreds of TVSK DVDs were seized during raids conducted at several city shops; following which the proprietors were arrested.

As part of its on-going enforcement campaign, UTV Motion Pictures yesterday cooperated with the Crime Branch Control in its raid against two targets namely; Mohd. Arone (Burma Bazaar) and Savarimuthu (China Bazaar), dealers of pirated DVDs. From the former 90 DVDs of TVSK and 20 DVDs of Settai were seized while Savarimuthu had 90 DVDs of TVSK.

Both were arrested on charges of criminal counterfeiting. Investigations are on-going to identify the source and/or locations of the manufacturers of seized goods, who will also be prosecuted as appropriate.
