Economic Times (ET) reports that the Mumbai Police has shut down the Telegram channel BJ Tech Knowledge after a complaint by Disney Star.
The said channel was illegally providing its subscribers with the content of many broadcasters, including Disney Star, Viacom18, Sony, and Zee.
Disney Star had filed the criminal complaint under this on April 27, 2024, at the NM Joshi Marg police station in Mumbai and was being operated by one Balaji Asaram Jaybhaye.
“The police did an investigation against BJ Tech Knowledge, leading to the raid on August 11. In the raid, the police team arrested Jaybhaye and seized his laptop and phone,” said another source aware of the discussion to ET.
BJ Tech Knowledge allowed pirates to share content URLs belonging to the big broadcasters with users in the Telegram group to allow them to stream the content through a network stream player app.
This content was accessible only after people downloaded the Network Stream player App from the Google Play store/iOS and logged in through a shared URL in the Telegram group.
An official involved with the matter told ET, “BJ Tech Knowledge, which had 5000 active users, sold URLs to users at Rs 300 and accepted payments through UPI.”.
