Nadakkavu police in Kozhikode took YouTuber Aswanth Kok into custody after a vehicle allegedly driven by him collided with three other vehicles near Eranhipalam. Residents reportedly stopped the vehicle and alerted police. A medical examination was conducted, and further action will depend on its findings and the investigation.

Nadakkavu police in Kozhikode took YouTuber Aswanth Kok into custody on Monday following allegations that he drove under the influence of alcohol and hit three vehicles. The incident occurred near Eranhipalam, where the vehicle allegedly driven by Kok collided with other vehicles on the road. Residents reportedly stopped the vehicle and contacted the police.

Police officers arrived at the scene shortly afterwards and took Kok into custody. He was later subjected to a medical examination to determine whether he had consumed alcohol while driving. The police said further action would depend on the medical examination report and the findings of their investigation into the collision.

The source material does not state whether anyone was injured, identify the owners of the other vehicles or provide details of the damage caused. It also does not indicate whether charges had been filed at the time of the report. The allegation that Kok was driving under the influence had not been established in the material supplied.

The medical examination and police investigation are therefore central to determining the next steps in the case. Kok is identified in the report as a YouTuber. No further information about his online work or public response to the allegation was provided.
