Coimbatore: In a recent turn of events, Savukku Shankar, the chief executive officer of a YouTube channel named 'Savukku', was arrested once again and remanded in Coimbatore Central Prison. The arrest, made by the Coimbatore Cyber Crime Police on the 4th, was initially due to defamation charges pertaining to inappropriate remarks about police officers. Following his court appearance, he was detained at the Coimbatore Central Prison.

Further complications arose when Theni's Palanisettipatti Police registered a case against Shankar for possession of Ganja. Subsequently, additional cases have been registered in various locations including Trichy and Chennai.
