  4. After almost a year custody and 10 years fighting a criminal case that destroyed lives, Priyank Pardeshi has been acquitted of all charges in the TellyTorrents piracy case. The court found no evidence, no forensics, no money trail, no proof of domain ownership.

    This isn't an isolated incident. As noted by legal analyst Kartik Sharma, this reflects a systemic failure in Indian law enforcement's approach to digital evidence. Similar cases have collapsed due to the same lack of technical proof.

    The human cost is immense, 311 days in custody, career damage, social stigma, and the loss of a co-accused who died during the trial. Priyank's story is a stark reminder of how easily innocent people can be destroyed by overzealous prosecution.

    It's also worth noting that the same media that once called him a "kingpin" is now reporting on the arrest of another alleged piracy mastermind - Immadi Ravi - with similar claims of millions in profits and forged documents.

  5. A federal judge in Chicago has sharply limited ICE’s power to make warrantless arrests, ruling that officers can now only detain individuals with proper warrants who’ve already been issued a notice to appear before an immigration judge. This means ICE can’t rely on “blank warrants” for broader collateral arrests, restricting racial profiling and requiring probable cause if someone is likely to flee. The ruling, part of a class-action settlement with the Biden administration, only applies to Chicago (until February) but could shape future cases elsewhere—raising questions about the legal limits of ICE’s authority.
