Assam: Guwahati police arrest man for pirating Zubeen Garg’s film Roi Roi Binale

Guwahati: The Cyber Crime branch of Assam Police has arrested a man in Guwahati in connection with the illegal online piracy of Zubeen Garg’s final film, Roi Roi Binale.

The suspect, identified as Rafiqul Islam from Lakhipur in Goalpara, allegedly uploaded several clips of the film on his YouTube channel, ‘Rafiqul R Blog’.

He is currently under questioning as police continue their investigation into the case.

The arrest follows widespread disappointment among fans and filmmakers after the film, which was Zubeen Garg’s last project, was found circulating online illegally just days after its release.

At a press event at JIL Creations’ office in Guwahati’s Ambikagiri Nagar, director Rajesh Bhuyan and producer Shyamantak Gautam expressed their frustration over the piracy, describing it as a setback for the Assamese film industry.

“The unauthorized distribution of the film happened very quickly. Zubeen Garg could not have anticipated such an incident, and it has caused distress to everyone involved in the project,” they said.

The piracy gained attention when fans noticed the illegal upload and reported it.

Following this, a group of Zubeen Garg’s supporters filed a complaint at Guwahati’s Latasil Police Station against the responsible YouTube channel.

The channel’s name has not been disclosed to prevent further sharing of the pirated film.

Fans urged the authorities to remove the pirated content from online platforms and called for stricter action to curb future piracy incidents.
