London-based doctor and popular YouTuber Sangram Patil was detained at Mumbai international airport on Saturday (January 10, 2026) morning in connection with a defamation case filed by a BJP functionary, a police official said.
Crime branch officials questioned him for hours and allowed him to go after serving him a notice under section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), he said.
The section mandates that the police may issue a notice of appearance to an accused in certain cases where the prescribed jail term is short, instead of arresting them.
