In response, India communicated to the French authorities that the issue revolved around “compliance with the rules and regulations of the country”, adding that the matter was not associated with Dougnac's journalism.

Residing in New Delhi since 2001, Dougnac works for the French media outlet Le Croix and writes in French. The notice emerged on Tuesday.
