As 13 hours passed, Mittal said he broke down, realising that a video he had posted in support of Arunachal Pradesh may have triggered the action against him. In the video, Mittal said he is a simple travel vlogger who also has friends in China from his startup days. Mittal said, “Ek chota sa Arunachal Pradesh ka stand hi toh liya tha maine, uske liye inhone kamre mein daal diya Bangladesh immigrants ke sath. She claimed that Chinese authorities told her that her Indian passport was “invalid” because she was born in Arunachal Pradesh. The incident comes amid China’s repeated assertions over Arunachal Pradesh, which it refers to as “South Tibet”.
