The accused YouTuber, who once built a digital presence showcasing India’s scenic locations, is now under investigation for allegedly leaking sensitive information. Authorities have invoked the Official Secrets Act, 1923 and charged her under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
She reportedly shared critical location-based data and helped push a pro-Pakistani narrative on digital platforms — a tactic intelligence officials claim is part of modern psychological warfare.
According to official sources, the charges suggest that the YouTuber shared location-based intelligence with foreign handlers. Intelligence agencies believe she was involved in spreading narratives favoring Pakistan through content designed to influence public opinion.
Bank records, electronic devices, and her digital content have been seized. Malhotra is now under detailed scrutiny, and if the charges hold, the consequences could be severe.
Her alleged connection to Pakistan’s psychological operations is being treated as a serious national security concern.
Jyoti Malhotra is not alone. Ten other Indian nationals have been arrested for their alleged role in an espionage network operating in Punjab and Haryana. These individuals are suspected to have worked as agents, fund handlers, and informants. Authorities believe this was a well-structured intelligence operation.
As the investigation deepens, the case of Jyoti Malhotra has become a reminder of how digital platforms can be exploited in modern warfare. Her arrest may have exposed a growing tactic of using influencers to influence national sentiment — and even compromise national security.
For now, the nation watches closely as authorities work to uncover the full truth behind Jyoti Malhotra’s Pakistan espionage connection.
