Chennai, Dec 29 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Tamil Nadu Police have filed a case against a YouTuber after he revealed the identity of a sexual assault victim in The Nilgiris district.

Shiva Subramani, founder and owner of a YouTube channel which was a video-sharing platform, is alleged to have uploaded the FIR details of the sexual assault victim. In the FIR the name and details of the victim were clear and this led to registering criminal case against him.

Subramani is absconding ever since a case has been registered against him. The video in the YouTube channel has been removed since then.

The victim of the sexual assault, an employee of the District Police Superintendent's office, the Nilgiris, had complained about her colleague to the District Superintendent of Police and Udhagamandalam All Women Police station. On the basis of the complaint of the woman, accused Mohana Krishnan was arrested.
