In the diary without date, he has written that he has returned to his country to India after traveling 10 days from Pakistan. He further said that “During this time I got a lot of love from the people of Pakistan. Our subscribers and friends also came to meet us. The two days we got to visit Lahore were not enough.”
Jyoti described Pakistan as “crazy” and “colorful” and said that his experience in the neighboring country is beyond words.
In one of his entry, he wrote about the request made to Pakistani officials: “Protect the temples there and allow Indians to meet their family members again from whom they separated in 1947.
Jyoti has a channel called ‘Travel with Joe’, which has more than 3.77 lakh subscribers. On 16 May, he was arrested by Haryana Police from his house in Hisar. A case was registered on YouTuber under Section 3 and 5 of the Official Privacy Act, 1923 and Section 152 of the Indian Justice Code.
