This gang has done a ware-separation worth crores of rupees.As a result of this standby, the payment would not reach the channels. The police have so far arrested four people involved in the case- M Reddy, Police Commissioner, Hyderabad.

According to the police, Jaadu Management have been illegally selling set top boxes in America, Britain and Australia.
