Espionage Network Busted in Punjab with Links with ISI And Khalistani Elements

The Punjab State Special Operations Cell (SSOC) has uncovered a suspected espionage network linked to Jasbir Singh, a resident of Mahlan village in Rupnagar district. Singh, who runs a YouTube channel named Jaan Mahal, is under investigation for alleged ties with Pakistani operatives and individuals already in custody. Jasbir is not the first Indian to fall under the radar for suspected espionage. Recently, YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra and 12 others were arrested from different parts of India as agencies exposed a wider network involved in spying, cross-border smuggling, and assisting enemy operations. Jasbir was reportedly in contact with Jyoti Malhotra before her arrest. Following her detention, he attempted to delete videos and contacts from his phone. He was allegedly in touch with ISI operative Shakir and had traveled to Pakistan three times.
