According to police sources, Mansoor Ali, a resident of Jinnah Street in Valluvar Nagar, had posted a video falsely claiming that a Dalit man named Hussain Shah — allegedly affiliated with the BJP IT wing in Jammu and Kashmir — had been arrested for involvement in the recent Pahalgam terror attack and had connections to a banned terrorist organization.
The video, which circulated widely online, was flagged by Head Constable Rajasekar of the Tiruchi Cyber Crime Police. Based on his complaint, a case was registered under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008.
Police said the content was intended to impersonate an individual by misusing their name and image, while spreading misinformation that could endanger India’s sovereignty, disrupt communal harmony, and incite hatred against the government.
Further investigations revealed that Mansoor Ali was already facing a pending case filed by the Tiruchi Metropolitan Crime Branch for allegedly making derogatory remarks about the Hindu deity Rama and the Rama Setu (Adam’s Bridge) on social media. Authorities noted that he had been residing abroad during the earlier probe, and with his recent arrest, investigations into the previous case will also be resumed.
Mansoor Ali is currently in judicial custody, and police said further legal action would follow based on the findings of the ongoing investigation.
DMK-Supporting Dravidianist YouTuber Also Peddled The Same Claims
While controversial actor and YouTuber Mansoor Ali Khan was arrested for spreading false claims about Talib Hussain Shah’s identity — wrongly labeling him a “Hindu BJP worker” — another figure, DMK-aligned Dravidianist YouTuber Senthil Vel, openly peddled the same propaganda without facing any consequences.
“Let me be clear—the Prime Minister, Home Minister, and Defence Minister are directly responsible. They must resign. I’m accusing them that they are weak and going to criticize them even more. I’m not here to bluff anything. I’m going to show the links between terrorists and BJP members, explain in detail who were all arrested.”, he had said.
He actively tried to equate Islamist terror with espionage cases involving Hindus—often Brahmins—revealing a disturbing blend of religious deflection, caste hatred, and political propaganda.
He also misled viewers by citing old or unrelated cases to link BJP with the terror attack. His confused, casteist rant not only failed to hold terrorists accountable but also shamelessly pandered to narratives favorable to Pakistan and hostile to India’s internal unity.
While Mansoor Ali Khan has been arrested for spreading such dangerous misinformation, Senthil Vel has so far evaded action, largely due to his cozy ties with the ruling DMK establishment in Tamil Nadu.
