Bayya Sunny Yadav Arrested by NIA Over Betting App Promotions and Pakistan Visit
Bayya Sunny Yadav, a popular Telugu YouTuber known for his extensive motorbike travel content, was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday at Chennai Airport. The arrest stems from alleged involvement in promoting betting applications and a controversial trip to Pakistan.
Highlights:
- YouTuber Bayya Sunny Yadav was detained by the NIA at Chennai Airport.
- Allegations include promotion of illegal betting apps and a recent trip to Pakistan.
Yadav rose to fame over the past few years with his travel vlogs, earning a large following across India and abroad. However, his promotion of betting platforms on his YouTube channel had already attracted legal scrutiny, with cases filed against him in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
His recent visit to Pakistan has now intensified concerns. Amidst ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, security agencies have heightened surveillance of cross-border interactions. During a broader crackdown dubbed Operation Sindoor, the NIA has arrested 11 individuals from Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, and Rajasthan for allegedly sharing sensitive information with foreign entities.
Sunny Yadav was reportedly under watch for his travel to Pakistan and has now been taken in for questioning regarding the nature and intent of his trip.
