Indian police have arrested four men suspected of leaking an episode of HBO’s Game Of Thrones. The men were arrested in Mumbai after an investigation into the leak of an episode before its scheduled release on August 7. The suspects are connected to Star India, which has the rights to air the hit TV series in the country.
They appeared in court for a preliminary hearing Monday. The police have until August 21 to charge the men. A version of Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 4 – ‘The Spoils of War’ – bearing a Star India watermark was released online last week, a few days before it was scheduled to air.
“This is the first time in the history of Star India that an incident of this nature has occurred,” the company said in a statement Tuesday. “We are deeply grateful to the police for their swift and prompt action.”
