In
an
interesting
turn
of
events,
a
self-confessed
fan
of
Darshan,
has
been
named
as
one
of
the
culprits
responsible
for
the
Pailwaan
piracy
mayhem.
A
while
ago,
Public
TV
reported
that
a
man
by
the
name
Rakesh
Virat,
a
resident
of
Bangalore,
has
been
arrested
by
the
police
for
sharing
links
to
Pailwaan
full
movie
on
his
Facebook
handle,
on
the
day
of
its
release.
The
accused
is
being
further
interrogated
to
learn
if
his
act
was
a
result
of
hatred
towards
Sudeep
and
his
film,
or
if
he
did
it
for
monetary
reasons.
A
few
days
ago,
Swapna
Krishna,
Pailwaan's
producer,
approached
the
Cybercrime
team
to
look
into
the
matter.
She
submitted
3,000
links
to
the
pirated
version
of
Pailwaan.
Now
that
the
police
have
got
a
lead,
they
are
investigating
further
to
find
the
others
involved
in
the
unethical
act.
All
this
while,
we
saw
Sudeep
and
Darshan's
fans
indulge
in
a
Twitter
war
over
Pailwaan
leak.
Although
the
accused,
Rakesh's
Twitter
handle
shows
that
he
is
a
hard-core
fan
of
D
Boss',
the
police
haven't
confirmed
the
same
as
they
are
suspecting
fake
accounts
being
created
to
cause
dispute
between
the
fans
of
the
two
stars.
However,
recent
developments
have
brought
a
lot
of
joy
to
Sudeep
fans.
But,
the
issue
is
much
bigger
than
a
verbal
brawl
between
fans
on
social
media.
Pailwaan
and
many
other
films
that
fell
prey
to
piracy
have
incurred
huge
losses.
As
per
the
Piracy
and
Copyrights
act,
anybody
involved
in
illegal
leaks
and
distribution
films
will
face
imprisonment
of
up
to
three
years.
We
need
to
wait
and
watch
what
Darshan's
fans
have
to
say
about
the
recent
incident.
