Three men running a Tamil YouTube channel named 'Chennai Talks' have been arrested by Greater Chennai Police after a video on their channel about a woman talking about sexual intercourse, sexuality etc went viral.
The video shows a woman talking in explicit details about intercourse and the host laughing about it.
The woman featured in the video filed a complaint stating that the show was scripted and the channel had assured her about disabling comments in the video, but stated that she was shocked to find the video on other YouTube channels.
Since the video went viral about her engaging in a light-hearted conversation on sex, sexuality and relationships, it led to an outpour of backlash from unknown people who took to abusing her on social media.
Dinesh who owns the channel, VJ Asen Badshah and video journalist Ajay Babu have been arrested under the charges of public obscenity and sexual harassment.
Shastri Nagar Police stated that they were informed about the crew’s presence at Basant Nagar Beach where they were asking people uncomfortable questions for the videos.
Police have now confiscated the crew's equipment and a case has been filed under Sections 354(b), 294(b), 509, 506(ii) of IPC and Section 4 of Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Women Harassment Act.
