seized from the location, he said.

The pirated CDs and DVDs included My Name is Khan which released on February 12.

DVDs of Striker, The Wolfman and Law Abiding Citizen were also seized.

Khan said it has been noticed that major chunk of piracy happens before or during a big release. 

"Considering the big release this time was My Name Is Khan, pirates attempting to copy or distribute this movie specially were on our radar for this week and the coming weeks that the movie would be running," he said. 

"Piracy of the recently released Striker is also on our list of probables," he added.
