Bangladesh Tightens Surveillance on Chinese Vloggers Accused of Defaming India

What's behind this

Bangladesh has stepped up surveillance and scrutiny of Chinese vloggers accused of defaming India after New Delhi raised concern over the use of Bangladesh’s territory. Officials say the vloggers filmed poor Dhaka neighbourhoods and falsely presented the footage as scenes from India, prompting intensified oversight of visiting digital creators to prevent misleading narratives on social media. According to the Uttara West Police Station’s officer‑in‑charge, Mohammad Khalid Mansur, the vloggers’ activities have decreased following the intervention of law‑enforcement agencies. The vloggers are reported to have passed off Dhaka slums as New Delhi’s before vanishing.
