Kochi | Police on Thursday took YouTuber KM Shajahan into custody for allegedly carrying out a cyberattack against CPI(M) leader KJ Shine and Vypin MLA KN Unnikrishnan, officials said.
Shajahan, former private secretary to the late Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan, is the second accused in the case registered for uploading a defamatory video against Shine and Unnikrishnan on his YouTube channel, Prathipaksham.
He was questioned on Wednesday by a team led by Munambam DySP at the Ernakulam Rural police station.
