New Delhi: Indian travel vlogger Navankur Chaudhary, aka Yatri Doctor, had announced on social media his recent trip to Pakistan and sought to correct the “baseless fake narrative” now doing the rounds on social media about it.
As more and more Indian vloggers are being watched closely from over border for visiting its southern neighbor — Jyoti Malhotra, the famous YouTuber was recently arrested on espionage charges.
Chaudhary, who broke his silence on a visit to Pakistan, in a video update on his Instagram account. He said he was aware of the online rumors and accusations after Jyoti Malhotra was arrested, with some of the older video clips made by him picked up.
Some of the clips reportedly showed him in a Pakistan High Commission, referring to a BSF jawan and an incorrectly drawn India map, which led some netizens to suspect him of being a traitor and question his links.

In a One-on-One interview, Yatri Doctor flatly denied having any espionage or illegal dealings. He categorically told, contrary to certain online rants, that he has been to Pakistan once.

Chaudhary, who said that till now he’s been to 144 different countries, underlined his Pak visit was only one more stone on this journey towards travelling the planet. He also defined his Indian identity proudly, confessing that many of his family have worn the Orange uniform as a mark of their loyalty.
When asked about his relationship with Jyoti Malhotra, Yatri Doctor responded that he would only meet her due to her being a mere fan in real life. He said the engagement was very minimal and consisted mostly of chit-chatting on YouTube. He categorically said he did not know her personally at all and was totally in the dark about her alleged deeds.
He further added that Chaudhary is absolutely not under any police inquiry in India. But he reiterated that he would provide full co-operation if the authorities needed to interrogate him. He asked the people not to believe these baseless rumors scattered all over social media and to take the real facts instead.
