This gang has done a ware-separation worth crores of rupees.As a result of this standby, the payment would not reach the channels. The police have so far arrested four people involved in the case- M Reddy, Police Commissioner, Hyderabad.

According to the police, Jaadu Management have been illegally selling set top boxes in America, Britain and Australia.

The customers would have to pay just $200 for the set top boxes and no subscription charges and could conveniently connect internet to these STB's and watch a channel of their choice.

According to the police, these people had started a similar business in Hyderabad but kept changing locations to avoid the police.

The police has booked the gang members under various sections of the IPC, IT and Cable TV Act. Police are on the lookout for the mastermind, Sumit Ahuja who is believed to be hiding abroad. A Red Corner Notice (RCN) has already been issued to ensure his arrest.
