NEW DELHI: New details have emerged in the espionage case against Indian YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, with investigative agencies uncovering her direct link to retired Pakistani police Sub-Inspector Nasir Dhillon, who is now under the scanner for alleged Intelligence operations against India. According to Intelligence sources, Malhotra was in personal contact with Dhillon and had even appeared alongside him in a podcast episode.
Their meeting reportedly took place during one of Malhotra's earlier visits to Pakistan. Dhillon, who launched his own YouTube channel after retiring from the Pakistani police, initially projected himself as a promoter of peace and cultural dialogue between India and Pakistan.
However, investigators now believe that behind the public persona lay a covert mission orchestrated by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and military. Officials allege that Dhillon operated as a conduit for Pakistani Intelligence, using his channel to reach out to Indian YouTubers. After establishing friendly ties with them, he would allegedly introduce them to ISI operatives and gradually assign them tasks aimed at gathering sensitive information about the Indian Army and security establishments.
