Khan’s bike reportedly overturned after hitting a sand mound on the side of the road in Manjeri. at around 6:20 pm on Friday. As per the reports, Junaid was first spotted by bus workers, who found him lying with severe head wounds.
Meanwhile, filmmaker anal Kumar Sasidharan has raised concerns over the death of the vlogger questioning whether it was truly an accident.
He shared his concern in a Facebook post and said, “This death is highly suspicious. He was arrested a while back for a sexual assault case. What caught my attention was a hate campaign against him, which seemed more than just a natural reaction. I saw a video where he denied the allegations, but it was edited to make him look bad."
Khan was facing sexual assault charges and was out on bail at the time of accident.
A woman had allegedly filed a complaint against the vlogger, accusing him of sexual assault after they met on social media. She alleged that he had promised to marry her, but instead assaulted her at multiple locations. Kerala police arrested him in Bengaluru two weeks ago based on her complaint.
“He passed away amidst a public backlash with videos and posts shaming him. We don’t even know if it was an accident or murder. Anyway, those who judged him won’t be bothered to find out the truth now. They’ll just move on to their next target," the filmmaker added.
As per the reports, Khan was survived by his father, Hamza, mother, Shahrban and son Muhammad Russell.
