The Indian YouTuber caused massive outrage in Turkey after publishing videos in which he made derogatory and sexually explicit Turkish women. The content, which quickly became a viral, led to the challenges of legal acts and, according to unconfirmed reports, his detention of the Turkish police.
YouTuber, known online as Malik Swashbuckler, whose real name is Malik SD Khan, allegedly made offensive comments in traveling in Turkey. In several videos originally recorded on YouTube and Instagram, you can hear in Hindi – Valo to avoid the locals to understand – and at the same time use a humiliating language about the Turkish women.
Since then, Malik has deleted his accounts on YouTube and Instagram, although video clips continue to circulate on social media.
Offensive language and behavior
In one of the widely shared clips, Malik can be heard referring to a Turkish woman as “Maal” and “item”, both derogatory slang terms used to objectify women. Another video shows that he entered the Turkish store and devoted angrily questioned why no Indian flag was shown, during which he also used the abuse language towards the merchant.
One of the most worrying videos allegedly includes the threat of rape in which Malik is talking again in Hindi, asking the audience if he should “rape” his Turkish guide at night.

Will and reported detention
Turkish users on social media quickly marked videos, leading to massive resistance. According to Turkiy, Malik was detained last week by the Turkish police last week, although the authorities were not published by the authorities at the time of reports.
