Navankur Chaudhary, popularly known as Yatri Doctor on YouTube, has come forward to address the wave of questions and speculation surrounding his name after another travel vlogger, Jyoti Malhotra, was arrested on serious allegations of spying.
For his millions of followers, Yatri Doctor is not just a travel content creator—he’s a humble, soft-spoken adventurer known for exploring lesser-known parts of the world with compassion and curiosity. But recent events brought him into an uncomfortable spotlight when some viewers began questioning his own travels, particularly a previous visit to Pakistan.
In a heartfelt video message, Chaudhary spoke openly and calmly. “I have nothing to hide,” he said. He explained that his visit to Pakistan was part of his ongoing mission to visit every country in the world—a goal he’s been documenting transparently for years. “It was one of the many countries I planned to visit. I entered and exited legally. There was no hidden agenda,” he clarified.
He also shared that his family has a strong tradition of serving in the Indian Army, and that patriotism is a deeply rooted value in his life. “We’ve worn the uniform with pride. Questioning my love for the country hurts,” he added.
On the topic of Jyoti Malhotra, Yatri Doctor said he only met her briefly, when she introduced herself as a fan. “There was no personal relationship. I treated her like I treat every other follower who comes up and says hello,” he explained.
Addressing concerns about a past video where an incorrect map of India was briefly shown, Chaudhary acknowledged the mistake but also noted the broader issue of misleading digital maps online. He clarified that his intention was to raise awareness, not make a political statement.
Despite the noise, he has chosen to remain calm and cooperative. “If any authority wants to speak to me, I am available. I’ve always kept my work honest and transparent,” he said.
For many of his followers, this moment only strengthened their respect for him. In a world filled with speculation and quick judgments, Yatri Doctor’s steady, respectful response reminded people why they connected with him in the first place—not just for the travel, but for his humanity.
