The police on Friday arrested Mohammed Nihad, a YouTuber mononymously called Thoppi, following a barrage of complaints against his social media behaviour. He was brought to the Valanchery police station after he was picked up from an apartment in Kochi.
The police had to break the door open to nab him as Thoppi refused arrest. Using his YouTube channel named, Mrz Thoppi, he went on live from inside the flat as the police broke the door open.
His arrest was in connection with a complaint filed by social worker Saifuddin Padath and All India Youth Federation leader Murshidul Haq at the Valanchery police station. The charges levelled against him were creating traffic block and use of abusive language publicly.
