"He Threatened A Girl": Maxtern Fights Back Against Online Harassment, Police Confirm Arrest Imminent
After an online troll threatened his family, YouTuber Maxtern fought back, mobilizing his community and getting the Chhattisgarh Police to confirm an imminent arrest.
In a chilling reminder of the dark underbelly of online fame, YouTuber Maxtern has revealed he is taking direct action against an online troll who made disgusting threats against his family, specifically a young girl. The good news? The Chhattisgarh Police have swiftly taken up the case, and an arrest is reportedly imminent, sending a powerful message to online abusers everywhere.
The incident began after Maxtern posted a video expressing support for Sonam Wangchuk, a move that, unfortunately, led to a flood of hate in his DMs. While online criticism is a harsh reality for creators, one individual crossed a dangerous line, escalating from mere abuse to outright threats.
“This guy is literally threatening to [assault] a girl,” Maxtern revealed in an emotional reel, exposing the troll’s vile comments. He highlighted the hypocrisy of the abuser’s online persona, whose bio ironically read “Respect for Bhagat Singh.” Maxtern pointed out, “This guy definitely doesn’t know Bhagat Singh at all. If he did, he wouldn’t be doing such things.”
This Maxtern online threat incident quickly galvanized his community. Maxtern didn’t just vent his frustration; he mobilized his followers, calling on them to help him bring the perpetrator to justice. He announced his intention to tag the Chhattisgarh Police cybercrime unit on Twitter, urging his audience to retweet and tag the authorities to ensure the threat was seen.
“Before such potential [criminals] become a danger to any girl, you know very well what should be done with them, and I will do it,” Maxtern declared, his resolve clear. He emphasized that even if the social media push didn’t work, he would personally file an FIR (First Information Report) manually, a process he acknowledged would take time, but one he was committed to seeing through.
The power of collective action and Maxtern’s determination quickly yielded results. In a crucial update shared in the comment section of his video, Maxtern confirmed that the Chhattisgarh Police had indeed “taken up the case” and would “arrest this guy soon.” This swift police intervention is a significant victory for victims of online harassment YouTubers often face.
“This is a huge win for creators and for anyone who has ever been targeted by online abuse,” a cybercrime expert told DeetsDaily. “It sends a clear message: your anonymity online is not absolute, and threats against individuals, especially family members, will be met with real-world consequences. The Chhattisgarh Police deserve immense credit for their quick response.”
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dark side of internet fame, where passionate opinions can sometimes devolve into dangerous threats against family. However, Maxtern’s proactive approach and the subsequent police action offer a beacon of hope, demonstrating that creators and their communities can fight back effectively.
As the online world continues to grapple with issues of safety and accountability, Maxtern’s story stands as a powerful testament to the fact that justice can, and will, be served against those who cross the line. The arrest of this troll will hopefully deter others from engaging in similar vile behavior.
