YouTube Spiritual Influencer Arrested for Sexual Assault
Malappuram police has made a significant arrest in a disturbing case of sexual exploitation involving a YouTube spiritual content creator. Shajil C P, a 37-year-old resident of Kuthirampoyil, Pullangode in Kaalikavu, was taken into custody by Kalathur police in Thiruvananthapuram for allegedly sexually abusing a woman who followed his spiritual channel.
The Deceptive Spiritual Platform
The accused operated a YouTube channel named Miracle Path, which he used to attract followers seeking spiritual guidance. According to police investigations, the victim first encountered Shajil through his online content and eventually met him in person. The situation turned violent when the man forced his way into the woman's living quarters and sexually assaulted her.
Police revealed that Shajil C P presented himself as someone with knowledge of sorcery and mystical powers, using this persona to build trust with his followers. Authorities have indicated that similar cases have been registered against the accused, suggesting a pattern of predatory behavior targeting women who approached him for spiritual assistance.
Legal Proceedings and Judicial Action
Following his arrest, Shajil C P was presented before the court and remanded to judicial custody. The arrest came after the victim filed an official complaint detailing the sexual abuse she endured. Malappuram police have launched a comprehensive investigation into the activities of the YouTube spiritual influencer.
This case highlights the growing concern about digital platforms being misused for predatory activities under the guise of spiritual guidance. Authorities have urged the public to exercise caution when interacting with online spiritual influencers and to verify their credentials before seeking personal consultations.
The incident has sparked discussions about the need for better regulation of spiritual content creators on digital platforms and more robust mechanisms to protect vulnerable individuals seeking genuine spiritual assistance online.
