Armaan Malik, known for his YouTube fame and a controversial stint on Bigg Boss OTT 3, is now facing a real-life nightmare off-camera. Recently, he made a dramatic plea on Instagram, revealing he's been receiving death threats and was even followed by an unknown car—a terrifying experience that pushed him to ask the Punjab Police for an arms license to ensure his family's safety.

In an emotional video shared late Thursday night, Armaan, alongside his second wife Kritika Malik, detailed the troubling situation. The YouTuber said he had been living in Zirakpur for the past five years and had been constantly harassed by threats to his life. 'An FIR has been filed, but the situation has only escalated,' Armaan explained. 'A few days ago, I was followed by an unidentified car, and though I immediately contacted the police and shared the car's registration details, there was no follow-up from their end.'
Despite his efforts to get an arms license for his family's protection, Armaan claims he has faced constant roadblocks. The authorities have cited an alleged case against him, which he calls "false and baseless" and is currently being resolved in court. Yet, he remains unable to secure any protection.
'I have taken every legal step. I have filed complaints, I have submitted applications, but nothing seems to change,' Armaan said, clearly frustrated. 'Should I and my family continue to live under this constant threat of danger?'
Who is Armaan Malik?
In his appeal, Armaan emphasised his right as a father and a responsible citizen to protect his family. 'I have every right to defend myself and my loved ones,' he said. 'This is not an act of rebellion. It's the plea of a helpless citizen who just wants safety.'
Armaan, known for his unconventional family structure with two wives, Payal Malik and Kritika Malik, continues to be a prominent figure on social media. However, his personal safety concerns have now taken centre stage, overshadowing his online persona.
As Armaan awaits further action from the police, his followers and fans have rallied behind him, expressing concern over his well-being. The influencer community, meanwhile, is growing increasingly vocal about the need for better safety measures for public figures like Armaan and his family. Will the authorities act in time, or will Armaan's fears of escalating danger continue to haunt him? Only time will tell.
