The complainant highlighted specific titles in the channel such as "MADAN angry at his girlfriend| Strictly 18+|Tamil| PUBGM| Richie GamiNg," which he claimed depicted women in a vulgar manner, infringing on their privacy and dignity and causing perversion in children who watch the videos.

The complainant also requested a channel ban as well as punishment against Madan Kumar, citing the fact that many of the followers were children.
