Nampally Court Rejects iBomma Ravi’s Bail Plea
A man named Emandi Ravi, who started a website called iBomma, was arrested for leaking movies and showing ads for betting.
He asked the police to catch him, and they did.
The police found lots of computers and movie copies in his place.
The court said no to his request to be freed on bail because they think he might run away.
He has many cases against him, and the police are now looking for his friends who helped him.
They also froze some of his money.
Nampally Court rejected the bail plea of Emandi Ravi, founder of iBomma, in connection with movie piracy and betting advertisement cases.
