Thiruvananthapuram: The Beemapally Muslim Jama-at has warned video shop owners in its area against selling pirated versions of recently-released Malayalam movies.

Extending support to the community-based anti-piracy initiative of the State police Crime Branch, Jama-at office-bearers said the drive to prevent sale of pirated movies and pornography would be implemented in a phased manner in Beemapally.

Inspector-General of Police, Crime Branch, K. Padmakumar (who coordinates anti-piracy operations) said 45 traders in Beemappaly had agreed not to sell or procure pirated DVDs or VCDs of any Malayalam movie within five months of its release.

He said Jama-at office bearers were helping the police persuade local traders not to sell pornography.
The traders will be given sufficient time for destroying their stock of pirated movies and pornographic films, following which the police will search their shops in the presence of community members.

The police focus will be more on curbing the sale of pirated versions of latest Malayalam films.
