Following India's 'Operation Sindur,' actions against the Pakistani espionage network have intensified. Now, another YouTuber named Jasbir Singh (41) has been arrested. He was detained for alleged ties with Islamabad officials, including Ehsan-ur-Rahim, alias Danish, who recruits spies against India.
Jasbir Singh, arrested for spying against India for Pakistan, hails from Punjab's Rupnagar district. His YouTube channel, JaanMahal video, boasts over 1.1 million subscribers, where he shares videos of his travels across Malaysia, the Maldives, and beyond.
According to Punjab Police, Jasbir traveled to Pakistan thrice. His visits occurred in 2020, 2021, and 2024.
Officials added that Jasbir, similar to arrested YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, attended Pakistan's national day event at the Delhi Embassy upon Danish's invitation.

Jasbir Singh was connected with numerous entities in Pakistan and initially had 150 Pakistani contacts, many of whom were known Pakistani intelligence operatives (PIOs). These operatives were also in contact with Jyoti Malhotra. Both Jyoti and Jasbir journeyed to Pakistan as vloggers, with sufficient evidence backing their activities. They deleted a significant amount of content, which authorities are trying to recover.

Jyoti and Jasbir shared sensitive information related to India with Pakistani intelligence officials. Like Jyoti Malhotra, Jasbir was nurtured by Pakistan's ISI. Investigations regarding financial transactions are also underway.
Punjab's Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav stated on social media, "After Jyoti Malhotra's arrest, Jasbir attempted to erase all traces of communication with these PIOs to avoid detection."
