YouTuber Jasbir Singh knew Haryana-based content creator Jyoti Malhotra and had toured Pakistan with her as well. Malhotra was arrested for her alleged links with Pakistani officials.
YouTuber Jasbir Singh has been arrested for allegedly spying for Pakistan by Punjab’s Special Operations Cell, Mohali. This comes amid a heavy crackdown on anti-terror activities and those involved in this. The State Special Operations Cell (SSOC) in Mohali worked swiftly on intelligence inputs and found a critical espionage network linked to Jasbir Singh, a resident of Village Mahlan, Rupnagar in Punjab.
Singh operates a YouTube channel with the name “Jaan Mahal” and has been found associated with PIO Shakir alias Jutt Randhawa, part of a terror-backed espionage network. Singh also maintained close contact with Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra (arrested for spying) and Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, a Pakistani national and expelled Pak High Commission official.
Jyoti Malhotra is also seen in the video touring with the group that Jasbir is travelling with in Pakistan. After Jyoti’s arrest, Singh allegedly tried to erase all traces of his communications with the PIOs and other officials.
Investigations have revealed that Jasbir attended the Pakistan National Day event in #Delhi on Danish’s invitation, where he met Pakistani Army officials and vloggers. He travelled to Pakistan on three occasions (2020, 2021, 2024), and his electronic devices contained multiple Pakistan-based numbers, now under detailed forensic scrutiny.
AfterJyoti Malhotra’s arrest, Jasbir attempted to erase all traces of his communications with these PIOs to avoid detection. An FIR has been registered at SSOC, Mohali. In one of the videos, Singh is seen with alleged Pakistani handlers during his visit to Lahore and other areas in Pakistan.
