Karl Rock, a content creator and travel enthusiast, was separated from his wife Manisha Malik and their family when the Government of India stopped him from returning to India. He left India in October 2020 to travel in Dubai and Pakistan, but his visa was cancelled upon his departure from the New Delhi International Airport. Despite multiple attempts to communicate with the Home Ministry and the Indian High Commission, he received no response. His wife, who had contracted COVID-19 for a second time, passed away due to cardiac arrest at Jaipur Golden Hospital, which reported that 25 patients died from lack of oxygen. Karl and Manisha are now fighting to get back to India, with Karl filing a petition in the Delhi High Court to have his name removed from the blacklist. He expresses regret for the stress and worry he caused his family and appeals for support in their petition.
