Facing allegations of abuse, popular Chennai YouTuber Madan O P absconding

Popular YouTuber Madan O P failed to appear before the cyber crime police in Chennai on Monday, after he was summoned based on allegations of abuse. At least two people have filed complaints against Madan with the Pulianthope Cyber Crime, alleging he uses obscene language online when people disagree with him, is often heard abusing women, and behaves inappropriately with minor girls.

Chennai City Police Commissioner Shankar Jiwal had said on Sunday that an investigation was underway, and action would be taken against Madan if he was found to have used objectionable content.

The police has sent letters to YouTube and Instagram to block Madan’s channels, and is probing whether more people were associated with his accounts.
