On April 8, an artist named on Instagram, Mooz Graffiti, shared a video explaining how the crime show used his YouTube videos to display graffiti in their latest episode.
Mumbai-based graffiti artist Mooz Graffiti shared a clip from the show, pointing out that CID not only showcased his work but also lifted it directly from YouTube videos, constituting copyright infringement. The video starts with a scene from CID, followed by Mooz showing his original artwork. He then speaks to the camera in Hindi, saying, “Initially, I was excited because we have all watched CID since childhood, and getting your artwork featured in it is a good thing.
But it's not just me; Zake, Elmart, and many other artists have had their work featured here. The funny part is that instead of going out on the street to film the artwork or hiring someone to depict the vandalism, you chose to take it from a YouTube video. I found that funny.
” The CID team has yet to react to the allegations. Get Current Updates on India News , Entertainment News along with Latest News and Top Headlines from India and around the world. Published April 10th 2025, 11:59 IST.
