India, Nov. 21 -- An organised online book piracy network was busted in the national capital with the arrest of its alleged operator, the Delhi Police said on Thursday, as it issued notices to five others linked to the racket. Anmol Kiro (27), a resident of Mayur Vihar Phase-I, allegedly operated the network through a website and sold pirated academic books across the country, they said.
The network operated by giving the appearance of legitimacy through an online storefront, using digital payment systems, creating auto-generated invoices, sourcing pirated material from street vendors, and dispatching orders across India via courier services.
Printing and plate-making work was outsourced to separate units to avoid detection, they said.
