According to reports, the youth has been identified as Aminur Rahman and he hails from Hajo Town in Assam. He was arrested on the morning of 11 February after a complaint was filed by Star TV.

The police have said that Aminur happens to be an app developer who allegedly hacked and started streaming sports content which belonged to Star on two apps which he had himself developed.
