YouTuber Madan, who enjoyed a cult following of more than 7,00,000 subscribers, which included minor children, was arrested a few weeks ago from a hideout in Dharmapuri by the cybercrime wing. His wife, Kruthika too was arrested from Salem shortly before he was caught.
The investigation revealed that the couple had earned up to Rs 10 lakh per month and had bought luxury cars and bungalows from the money earned. But denying all allegations, Madan's wife Kruthika claimed that her husband never played PUBG and that they never saved all the money from playing the game for the last ten years.
Further, she said that they only possessed an Audi car and didn't have any other luxury cars. Our bank accounts have been frozen and our house keys were with the Police, she added.
The duo, who were allegedly running YouTube channels where they live-streamed the videos of Madan playing PUBG, have been in the news for sometime now. Madan received several complaints from people for objectifying women and having obscene conversations with them. Madan's YouTube channels have currently been blocked by the Chennai Cyber Crime police and the videos have also been removed.
