An Indian vlogger has claimed that he was detained for 15 hours at Chinese airport over remarks on Arunachal Pradesh.​

Indian travel vlogger, popularly known online as On Road Indian, has alleged that he was detained by Chinese authorities for nearly 15 hours due to comments he made online about Arunachal Pradesh.

In a YouTube video, the vlogger described the experience as disturbing and emotionally exhausting, repeatedly saying “Humaari koi aukaat nahi” to convey his sense of helplessness during the detention. The incident, he said, took place on November 16 at Guangzhou airport, where he had arrived to visit a friend.

“On 16 November 2025 this incident happened and I am thankful that even after all this, China released me peacefully after 15 hours. I have no hate for anyone. I just love everyone and show this world on my page through my eyes. I’m not linked to any political agenda,” he wrote in the caption of the YouTube video.

“I studied in Northeast for three years and I am very attached to that area. Suddenly last month I got emotional over the detention of Arunachal citizen in China and I made this video. I’m sorry if I hurt anyone. I’m very small in front of these big powers. I am still crying while writing this Caption,” he added.

Vlogger narrates ordeal after detention

According to the vlogger, he was stopped during routine immigration checks just before his passport was stamped. “After following the normal immigration procedure at the airport, the official stopped before putting a stamp on my passport,” he said. He claimed that a senior official was called, and he was then taken to a detention area, where he was made to wait without explanation. “There I saw a Korean national and some Bangladeshi nationals. I got a little worried, thinking about what was going to happen next,” he added.

He said that when no one attended to him for the next two hours, he thought something was fishy. He said he was questioned by two officers who initially appeared friendly but later searched his bags and confiscated his camcorders and mobile phone. He also claimed he was not offered food for over 28 hours and was not allowed to contact the Indian Embassy during his detention.

He said he was eventually released and allowed to board his scheduled return flight back to India, and thanked Chinese authorities for not deporting him.

"I hope this video of mine reaches the Indian and Chinese Embassies, and that they understand my situation and help me," he said, adding a piece of advice for other vloggers like him, saying, "We are very small people. Hamari koi aukaat nahi hai".

China is looking to grab Arunachal Pradesh. They call it "Zangnan".

Time to show China it's place.

If China want to grab Arunachal Pradesh, India can't do much because China is 4-5 times ahead of India militarily.

Remember they grabbed 2000 sq km of Indian territory since 2021.

I don't mind if China grab all the sanghi strongholds. If I am not wrong, BJP won in Arunachal Pradesh.

1. Have you watched the video posted in OP? In that video itself it is showing 4 Bangladesh guys were also detained for lack of paperwork. So you guys enter every country without proper paperwork? India, China everywhere? LOL

2. The Indian dude was arrested because he made an youtube video about criticizing about detention of Arunachal citizen in China. So who is wrong here - India or China? If a Chinese student harassed in India like this for making a video, you will be the first one calling about India's dictatorship. However, just because its 'abbu' China, you would rather blame this student.


@Bhaag Viru Bhaag - i feel this maybe a publicity stunt to make himself popular. This is similar to how miraculously SRK gets arrested in NY Airport before release of My Name is Khan. I watched the entire video and feels like he is lying.

China grabbed 38,000 sq km of Indian territory since 1962 (including 2000 sq km of territory since 2021).

If China can reduce India's territory to less than 50%, it can be great for China as well as the entire region.

China is advancing very rapidly in AI and other technologies. I wouldn't be surprised if they amass enough robot soldiers in a few years. If that happens, they can annex some of the Indian territories without sacrificing their troops.
