Indian Vlogger Says He Was Detained in China for 15 Hours Over Arunachal Remark

His account highlights sensitivities in China–India relations over the disputed region, with no confirmation from Chinese authorities.

Overview

  • Anant Mittal, known as On Road Indian, says Chinese immigration held him for about 15 hours on November 16 after prior comments asserting Arunachal Pradesh is part of India.
  • He reports being stopped at the immigration counter when a passport sticker triggered an alert, then escorted to a holding area where his phone and camera were seized.
  • Mittal says he was denied food and given only limited water during the detention, leaving him exhausted and shaken before officials told him the 'process' was complete.
  • He believes the scrutiny stemmed from a video supporting an Arunachal-born Indian previously detained in Shanghai and has since removed that earlier post.
  • Coverage cites his statements after returning to India and notes parallels to the earlier Pem Wang Thongdok case, with no public response from Chinese officials reported.
