Original: अभिजीत दीपके

Reports claiming that Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, the Indian defence analyst, had been arrested are false, according to Dainik Bhaskar. Ashutosh Ranka stated that Iyer-Mitra is not in custody and is moving around freely in Mumbai. The clarification comes after news of an alleged arrest spread widely, prompting concern among followers of the commentator, who is known for his outspoken commentary on defence and strategic affairs.

Why now: Conflicting reports about a well-known commentator's alleged arrest prompted a quick public clarification.
