The Delhi high court recently passed interim orders directing WhatsApp and other social media platforms to suspend all accounts that are illegally sharing and selling pirated copies of Salman Khan’s Radhe. Justice Sanjeev Narula passed the order in a suit for injunction filed by Zee Entertainment. The court further ordered a blanket protection against any form of piracy of the movie including restraining any unauthorised storing, reproducing, communicating, disseminating, circulating, copying, selling, offering for sale or making available copies of the film on WhatsApp or any other platform.

The film, produced by Salman Khan and distributed worldwide by Zee, was pirated no sooner than it was premiered on ZeePlex and Zee5 on 13th May.
