Kasargod, Jul 26, 2025: In a shocking development, popular YouTuber Mohammad Sali, known as ‘Shalu King,’ was arrested by Koyilandy police at Mangaluru International Airport on Saturday morning. The 35-year-old from Cheppinadka, near Kodiyamma in Kasargod, faces charges of sexually assaulting a minor girl under the pretext of marriage.
Sali, who operates multiple social media channels, including Shalu King Media, Shalu King Vlogs, and Shalu King Family, has been active online for over seven years. Despite being married since 2016 and having three children, he allegedly lured a 15-year-old girl into a relationship via Instagram and Snapchat, promising marriage, before committing the assault.
Following a complaint, the Koyilandy police registered a case under the POCSO Act. Sali reportedly fled abroad to evade arrest, prompting authorities to issue a Look Out Circular (LOC). Immigration officials detained him upon his arrival at Mangaluru International Airport and handed him over to the Kerala police.
Sali is now in custody and is expected to be produced before a magistrate. Further investigations are ongoing to uncover additional details in the case.
