Tiruchi Court Refuses to Remand YouTuber ‘Savukku’ Shankar in Defamation Case
Tiruchi, India – December 26, 2025 – A Judicial Magistrate in Tiruchi today refused to remand controversial YouTuber “Savukku” Shankar in a fresh case brought against him by the Tiruchi District Cyber Crime police. Shankar was escorted from Puzhal Prison in Chennai to appear before the Additional Mahila Court following a complaint filed by a woman constable. The constable alleges Shankar made defamatory remarks about her and other policewomen on his YouTube channel back in July.
During the hearing, Shankar’s defense counsel argued that there were no grounds for remand, citing a stay order issued by the Supreme Court regarding the same case, following an appeal against a previous High Court ruling.
After considering arguments from both sides, the Judicial Magistrate sided with the defense, refusing to remand Shankar into judicial custody. He was released on his own bond. The case remains under review given the Supreme Court stay.
