‘Scandalous content’: Indian-origin UK doctor barred from leaving Mumbai over post on PM Modi

An Indian-born British doctor has spent the last three months unable to return home to the United Kingdom after Mumbai Police issued a Look Out Circular (LOC) against him over a social media post concerning Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Dr Sangram Patil, a UK-based consultant with the National Health Service (NHS) and a YouTuber with over 4,73,000 subscribers, is currently awaiting relief from the Bombay High Court. The court has not yet ruled on his petition but is examining the legality of both the FIR and the travel restriction that has prevented him from leaving India.
