'Book drama' in Parliament: Penguin Random House claims that Naravane's book is yet to be published, Rahul's government's attempt to surround it fell asleep?

Former Army Chief General MM Naravane's unpublished book 'Four Stars of Destiny' has been published by its publishing company Penguin Random House India. The company said that the book of former army chief MM Naravane is yet to be published. We reserve all the publishing rights. "So far, no printed copy of the book has come out and no digital copy has come out," the company said. No part of the book has been made public anywhere on our behalf. The company made this clarification because of the claim of leaking unauthorized copies of the book and online circulation. Delhi Police has also registered an FIR in this regard. The action was taken on the basis of information surfaced on various social media platforms and online news forums claiming that a pre-print copy of the book was being circulated. According to the police, they are yet to get the necessary permission from the authorities concerned for the publication of the book. Police investigations revealed that a PDF copy of the book with the same title was available on some websites. It is suspected that this could be the copy prepared by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. In addition, some online marketing platforms displayed the cover of the book as if it were available for purchase. The Delhi Police's Special Cell has registered a case to investigate the matter. Police are trying to find out how the contents of the unpublished and unauthorised book became public and who are the people behind it.
