The Delhi Police has registered a case over the alleged leak and circulation of a pre-print copy of the book Four Stars of Destiny, which is yet to receive clearance from the competent authorities.

Police took cognisance of information circulating on various online social media platforms and news forums claiming that a pre-print copy of the book was being shared publicly. Reports also indicated that the mandatory approval required for the publication of the book had not been granted.

During verification, the police found that a PDF version of a typeset book with the same title was available on certain websites. The book appeared to have been prepared by Penguin Random House India Pvt. Limited. In addition, some online marketing platforms were found displaying the finished book cover, suggesting that the book was available for purchase.

To investigate the alleged leak or breach involving a yet-to-be-approved publication, the police registered a case with the Special Cell. The Special Cell has taken up the investigation to carry out a detailed probe into the matter.
