Investigations have also revealed that she established contacts up to the Pakistan-Afghanistan border &#8211; a region known for terrorist activity and has restricted civilian access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malhotra, who has a massive following on YouTube and Instagram, is among 11 people who have been arrested on charges of spying for Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to sources, investigations have found that the ISI module strategically recruited individuals who have a huge social media influence. Apart from gathering intelligence, they were also allegedly tasked with promoting a positive image of Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Haryana vlogger, currently in five-day police custody, is being questioned by a joint team of the NIA, IB, and Haryana Police. Sources said she has been evasive and also attempted to mislead the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, Malhotra denied her personal ties with Ehsan Dar alias Danish, a Pakistani High Commission official who was later expelled by India on May 13 amid tensions following the Pahalgam attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She even deleted two chats with Danish, an examination of her mobile phone revealed. Investigators suspect these chats might have included confidential information and instructions received by her from Pakistani agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>-PTI<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI, MAY 20 : The arrest of Jyoti Malhotra, a Haryana-based travel vlogger, has exposed a conspiracy linked to a major module of Pakistan&#8217;s spy agency ISI and revealed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":137262,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[348],"tags":[27086,27085,63],"class_list":["post-137379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","tag-a-haryana-based-travel-vlogger","tag-jyoti-malhotra","tag-new-delhi"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&#039;Spy&#039;
