The recovery was made following a raid at a building in Kartar Nagar area of Jalandhar, 150 km from Chandigarh, after a tip off.

The pirated DVDs and CDs had been prepared by two people, one of whom was arrested by police, following the raid.

The police also recovered DVD and CD writers from the premises.

'We are investigating the matter. More recoveries are likely to be made,' a police official said.
