New Delhi: The Indian government has expelled an official from the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi, accusing him of engaging in activities inconsistent with his diplomatic status. The Ministry of External Affairs has issued a statement confirming that the official was given 24 hours to leave the country and that a notice was handed over to the chargé d’affaires of the Pakistani mission.
Earlier this month, on the 13th, another Pakistani official was expelled on charges of espionage. In the last two weeks alone, at least 12 people have been arrested in India under similar accusations. Investigations suggest the existence of a spy network in North India linked to Pakistan.
Among those arrested is Jyoti Malhotra from Haryana, a popular YouTuber with 377,000 subscribers and 133,000 Instagram followers. Another woman arrested in the case is Gusala from Punjab. Jyoti admitted to having connections with ISI agents, including Ehsanoor Rahim (alias Danish), a Pakistani High Commission officer in Delhi. Their communication reportedly began in 2023 and continued through platforms such as WhatsApp, Snapchat, and Telegram.
Jyoti also maintained a diary, which revealed her emotional ties to Pakistan and a desire to marry someone from the country. Authorities found that she had established connections with multiple ISI agents during her visit to Pakistan.
