A popular YouTuber from Punjab, Jasbir Singh, has been arrested for allegedly leaking sensitive information to Pakistan. Singh, who runs the YouTube channel “Jaanmahal Video” with over one million subscribers, was taken into custody by the Punjab Police’s Special Operations Cell. Authorities revealed that he had been in contact with Shakir, also known as Jatt Randhawa, an officer linked to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). According to Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav, Shakir is suspected to be part of a spy network that supports terrorist activities.
Investigators discovered several Pakistani phone numbers on Jasbir’s mobile phone, and records show he had visited Pakistan three times. He had also participated in Pakistan’s National Day celebrations at the Pakistani Embassy in New Delhi. This arrest comes shortly after another YouTuber, Jyoti Malhotra from Haryana, was detained on May 15 in a similar case. Police have found that Jasbir and Jyoti had close ties, and following her arrest, Jasbir attempted to cover his tracks by deleting Pakistani contacts and reducing communication with them. His mobile phone has now been sent for forensic analysis.
