An Indian-origin UK resident from Arunachal Pradesh was detained for 18 hours at Shanghai Pudong Airport on November 21, 2025, during a layover from London to Japan.
Chinese officials reportedly refused to recognize her Indian passport, citing the region’s disputed status, and subjected her to prolonged questioning, denied her basic needs, and pressured her to buy a new ticket with China Eastern Airlines.
Her passport was withheld until Indian consular officials intervened.
She has since filed a complaint, urging accountability and safeguards for future travelers.
