A joint investigation held on Saturday, 30 June by Ealing Council Trading Standards officers and the Police led to a haul of about 3,000 DVDs and music CDs with a street value of around £15,000. Copies of new releases Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Metro and Cheeni Kum were also discovered during the investigation in the basement of a shopping centre in Southall, England.

Interestingly, copies of a Bollywood film featuring a character who is a Southall wheeler-dealer selling pirate DVDs were among illegal copies seized.
