As the investigation into an alleged spy ring linked to Pakistan deepens, popular YouTuber Navankur Chaudhary, better known as Yatri Doctor, has found himself under scrutiny following the arrest of fellow YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra. The Haryana-born doctor-turned-vlogger has denied all allegations, calling them "baseless" in a video statement.
Chaudhary, who boasts nearly 2 million subscribers on YouTube and over 6.5 lakh followers on Instagram, was recently summoned by police after a viral video surfaced showing him alongside Malhotra at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi. The clip triggered widespread speculation about his possible involvement in the alleged espionage network.
Chaudhary, who hails from Rohtak, Haryana, is a qualified MBBS doctor who graduated from Madras Medical College in 2015. In 2017, he left his medical career behind to travel the world and began vlogging under the name Yatri Doctor. According to his public posts, he has visited 144 countries, documenting his experiences and interactions with locals across continents.
Chaudhary confirmed that he had visited Pakistan once but insisted the trip was solely for content creation.
The arrest of at least 11 individuals so far, including Malhotra, has sent shockwaves through India's content creator community. While officials have not formally named Chaudhary as a suspect, his brief interaction with Malhotra and presence at the High Commission have made him a subject of inquiry.
