Assam CID Registers FIR Over Piracy of Zubeen Garg’s Final Film 'Roi Roi Binale'

Overview

• The Cyber Police Station of CID, Guwahati, accepted the complaint on November 9 alleging unauthorized recording and distribution of the film and opened a case under the Copyright Act, the Cinematograph (Amendment) Act, and the IT Act.
• Investigators were given logs, screenshots, timestamps, and metadata as evidence, with the complaint noting pirated versions surfacing online almost hourly.
• Director Rajesh Bhuyan publicly condemned the leaks as a personal loss and a betrayal of Zubeen Garg’s vision for Assamese cinema.
• The team says piracy escalated from short fan clips to full uploads within days of release, as they worked around the clock to report and remove illegal copies.
• Cinema hall owners reported heightened in-theatre monitoring yet persistent recording attempts, while the makers urged authorities, platforms, and the public to help curb the leaks.
