YouTube suspends Bhiwani murder suspect’s channel

Following a major backlash, YouTube has suspended the channel of self-proclaimed cow protector Monu Manesar, one of the suspects in the Bhiwani killings.

Manesar had over two lakh followers and would often upload videos of the Bollywood-style chase of the alleged cow smugglers, their brutal thrashings and activities of his group openly brandishing arms.

The channel had hit troubled waters, as Monu was named as accused in the kidnapping, murder and immolation of two men from Bharatpur — Nasir and Junaid.

Following the incident, while Monu went missing, his channel and videos went viral, leading to a major uproar against law-enforcement agencies and social media giants for ignoring the content.
