Tanvir Rahi, a close associate of YouTuber Towhid Afridi, has accused him of blackmail and abusive behavior toward fellow content creators. “On camera, Afridi appears friendly, but off-camera he’s terrifying. In the YouTube industry, people fear him like a tiger,” Rahi said. He alleged Afridi would beat friends with a belt “like dogs” and use political figures or law enforcement to intimidate rivals. Rahi recounted being threatened during the recent protests, including a chilling late-night video call where Afridi boasted about his influence. “He has no humanity, only revenge in his mind,” Rahi added.
