Delhi-based content creator Mohammed Irfan has regained access to his YouTube channel just hours after it was unexpectedly terminated, bringing relief to his rapidly growing online community. The creator, whose channel Main Irfan surged in popularity following a viral public appearance, had earlier appealed to YouTube after the platform cited a violation of Google's Terms of Service. His account has now been restored.

Channel Briefly Removed After Rapid Rise In Popularity

Mohammed Irfan, who lives in a Delhi slum, witnessed an extraordinary rise in online popularity after launching his YouTube channel, Main Irfan. The account attracted tens of thousands of subscribers in a short span before it suddenly became inaccessible.

Visitors attempting to open the channel were shown a notice stating that the account had been terminated for violating Google's Terms of Service. At the time, YouTube did not issue any public explanation beyond the message displayed on the page.

Viral Moment Brought Irfan Into The Spotlight

Irfan first drew nationwide attention after reciting the Preamble to the Constitution during the recent Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar.

He talked about the struggles faced by workers in the unorganised sector while stressing the importance of accessible education, healthcare and democratic rights.

On July 28, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi met Irfan, saying his perspective reflected the strength and promise of India's youth.

Irfan Appealed To YouTube After The Suspension

Following the termination of his account, Irfan shared a message on X, describing the removal as an apparent error and requesting YouTube to review its decision.

He wrote, "My channel was completely new, and I have honestly followed all of YouTube’s guidelines," Mr. Irfan said in his post on X. "People really liked my content, which is why my subscribers increased. It seems like there was a mistake by your automatic system. Please review my channel again and restore it."

"मेरा चैनल बिल्कुल नया था और मैंने YouTube की सभी गाइडलाइंस का ईमानदारी से पालन किया है। मेरे कंटेंट को लोगों ने बहुत पसंद किया, जिसकी वजह से सब्सक्राइबर बढ़े। ऐसा लगता है कि आपके ऑटोमैटिक सिस्टम से गलती हुई है। कृपया मेरे चैनल की दोबारा समीक्षा करें और इसे वापस रीस्टोर (Restore)…
