Shared with SuperPrinters · 8/17/2026 · Source: indianprinterpublisher.com
A joint anti-piracy operation by Penguin Random House India, Simon & Schuster India, and Hay House led to the arrest of three individuals and the seizure of over 1,600 counterfeit books from a digital print-on-demand facility and a distribution point in Delhi. Authorities confiscated a complete production line including photocopying, binding, cutting, and lamination equipment. Publishers highlighted the significance of simultaneously disrupting both the printing source and its wholesale network, marking the first raid in their campaign to target a digital POD operation.
