Indian Police Crack Major Book Piracy Ring, Seizing Over 20,000 Titles

Indian Police Crack Major Book Piracy Ring, Seizing Over 20,000 Titles

On March 15, Indian law enforcement, working with leading publishers, raided multiple warehouses and an illegal printing press in a coordinated operation. Authorities confiscated more than 20,000 pirated books linked to a sophisticated distribution network. Publishers described it as one of the largest recent seizures in the capital. Among the seized works were titles by Arundhati Roy, Haruki Murakami, Yuval Noah Harari, Daniel Kahneman, Simon Sinek and James Clear. The crackdown underscores the vast scale of book piracy in India.
