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.
