Ernakulam Rural police on Thursday took K M Shahjahan, owner of the YouTube channel Prathipaksham, into custody in connection with the cyber-attack case against CPM leader K J Shine. Officers detained Shahjahan from his residence in Thiruvananthapuram and will question him at the Ernakulam Rural Cyber Police Station.
Shahjahan, a former private secretary to the late Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan, is the second accused in the case relating to a defamatory video uploaded against Shine and Unnikrishnan on his channel.
A team led by Munambam DySP had questioned him at the Ernakulam Rural Police Station on Wednesday and later released him. However, he subsequently uploaded a new video, following which he was taken into custody.
The case was registered on Shine’s complaint against C K Gopalakrishnan, a local Congress leader from North Paravoor, and Shahjahan. They face charges under Sections 78 (stalking) and 79 (acts, gestures, words or objects intended to insult a woman’s modesty or intrude upon her privacy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Section 67 of the IT Act (publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form), and Section 120(o) of the Kerala Police Act (causing nuisance through communication).
