The YouTuber, Salman Khan, who runs the channel ‘Media in Truth’, stated on Thursday that he had been facing harassment from several officers, including the SP, for some time.
“I upload and share videos on a variety of issues on my YouTube channel. I shared all these videos with the SP too, yet, I was called to the SP’s office on the pretext of a peace meeting, where an attempt was made to assault me in front of everyone, completely damaging my dignity and reputation,” Khan has said on Facebook Live.
Speaking further, he said that he was asked why he posted so many videos related to the police.
Claiming that he was called and told to delete the clips, Khan said he was being harassed by the SP himself.
“The SP is misusing his powers and strangulating the truth. He has also harassed several other people in Bidar district,” he said.
He also questioned how the officer would treat others if a media person was being subjected to such harassment.
“I am being forced to close my YouTube channel as the SP is attempting to register a false case against me and he might also take my life. I therefore urge citizens to please take care of my family,” Khan said on Facebook Live before allegedly consuming drugs.
On Thursday night, Khan’s condition was reported to be critical. He is currently undergoing treatment at the Bidar Institute of Medical Sciences (BRIMS) Hospital.
