The owner of the iBomma Website that distributed the pirated versions of various big-ticket movies and OTT content, Ravi Emmadi, finally got a conditional bail approved by the Court. Arrested in November 2025 after flying from France, upon an information leak by his estranged wife, Ravi was sent to judicial custody, followed by jail.
Back in November 2025, police identified that Ravi had allegedly had ₹3 crores in his bank account, and his piracy network at that time was worth around ₹20 crores, and those bank accounts were frozen. It has also come out that the perpetrator has citizenship of a foreign country, and for the same reason, his passport was seized. Every day, Ravi should appear before the CCS Police in Hyderabad and sign the attendance. Also, he’s not allowed to use the internet without permission from the police.
On the other hand, police are still trying to ascertain and investigate the extent to which Ravi’s network expanded in the piracy world. While iBomma is down, piracy is still worrying Telugu filmmakers, as many other sites are uploading pirated copies of just-released movies.
