Assault against YouTuber: Kerala High Court is hearing the anticipatory bail applications preferred by Malayalam Film Industry dubbing artist Bhagyalakshmi and two others, Diya Sana and Sreelakshmi Arackal in a case registered for assaulting YouTuber Vijay P Nair.
The YouTuber had made sexist and offensive remarks against the women. The women rushed to Nair’s office and poured black oil on his face for his vulgar remarks against one of the women and against ‘feminists’ generally. The assault was streamed live on Facebook.
Before leaving, they took his laptop and left.
Their earlier bail plea before a Thiruvanathapuram Sessions Court was rejected by a Court which stated that no one could take the law into their own hands.
