Overview
- Police continue daily custodial questioning of Immadi Ravi, seizing hard drives with about 21,000 films while probing alleged harvesting of data from roughly 50 lakh users and earnings reported around ₹20 crore.
- Investigators say Ravi holds Saint Kitts and Nevis citizenship, leading to the addition of Foreigners Act sections to the case.
- Roughly ₹3.5 crore in bank accounts has been frozen as teams track transfers through NRI channels, crypto wallets and properties in India and overseas.
- Multiple mirror platforms such as iBomma-1, MovieRules and TamilMV remain active, with cybercrime units working to identify and block dozens of domains.
- A separate inquiry is underway after iBomma links appeared on a nationalised bank’s loan portal, with police examining a possible server compromise and the role of middlemen tied to fake IDs.
