Police in a drive arrested a youth on charge of uploading pirated copy of Aynabaji, a film by Amitabh Reza Chowdhury, to a personal server and illegally screening it on the internet early Thursday.
The arrested man has been identified as Atikur Rahman Avi, 28, one of the owners of Badda Net Zone, a broadband internet connection provider at Badda.
Masudur Rahman, Deputy Commissioner (Media) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police said this in a press briefing at the DMP media centre on Thursday.
Soon after receiving complaint, the Cyber Security and Crime Division of the DMP team started investigations and arrested Atikur, the police official said.
“We have already identified a number of people involved with the piracy and police drives are on to pick up them,” the DC said.
Nazmul Islam, Senior Assistant Commissioner of the Gulshan Division, said, “We have already tracked 18 server links which uploaded the pirated copy of the film, 15 of which have already been removed by BTRC. The 15 server links were created in overseas countries.”
The three other server links were generated in Badda, Khilkhet and Uttara, the police official said.
Moreover, 22 to 25 Facebook IDs telecast the film live which have also been traced and legal actions will be taken against the ID users, he said. Syed Gousul Alam Shaon, one of the producers-cum-writers of Aynabaji who was also present during the briefing, expressed his worries over the leak of the film.
They also seized a computer and pirated materials during the drive, he said. The Aynabaji was released on September 30 and it has been screened in different cinema halls across the country.
