This case is not only a major alert for national security, but it also highlights the need for Indian youth to be smart against radical and foreign agencies on social media.

Jyoti Malhotra was arrested on 15 May 2025, and since then the NIA (National Investigation Agency), Military Intelligence, and other agencies have been engaged in getting to the bottom of the case. The investigation has made several important revelations, including Jyoti's relations with the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI, financial transactions, misuse of social media, and suspicious role in terrorist activities. In this news, we will investigate this entire matter in detail.

Jyoti Malhotra's rise and identity on social media

Jyoti Malhotra's name was known as an active YouTuber on social media. He achieved a good fan following by making videos on local and national issues on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Jyoti's video was usually quite popular among the youth, where she gave her opinion on political, social, and entertainment-related topics.

Through social media earnings, he took care of his family and also collected much expensive equipment and means of travel. He had four bank accounts, which are now being investigated by the NIA. One of these accounts has indicated suspected financial transactions from Dubai, which reflects the seriousness of the case.'

Accusation and arrest of espionage

On 15 May 2025, Haryana Police arrested Jyoti Malhotra on charges of spying for Pakistan. It is alleged that he informed Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, about many important raw agents and the army's secrets. Investigation agencies have received audio dialogue and chat with Pakistan, in which the name of a Pakistani officer, Ali Hasan, has been revealed.

In Jyoti's message, "Get me married in Pakistan" was written, which indicates deep relations with Pakistan. However, the police have clarified that no concrete evidence of marriage or conversion has been found yet.

According to police sources, Jyoti had gone to Pakistan to meet the officials there on several occasions, and the Pakistani intelligence agency helped her and provided her protection.

Pakistan Travel and ISI contact

Many important facts have also come out about Jyoti's visit to Pakistan and contacts there. Investigations have revealed that she also has a person named Danish in her Pakistani contacts, who was active in Pakistan and has been expelled from India.

When Jyoti applied for Pakistan's visa in 2023, she met Danish. Since then, there has been continuous contact between the two. In Pakistan, she was held at the Five Star Hotel and also provided security.

During his visit to Pakistan, Jyoti met officials of several agencies there, through which she continued to send information inside and outside India. Investigation agencies are still collecting complete information about those who were contacts of Jyoti.

Misuse and publicity of social media

Jyoti misused social media. She not only used to deliver the information from there to the Pakistani officials but also spread many wrong and inflammatory messages in favor of Pakistan during the tension between India and Pakistan.

She often spoke against the Indian Army and security agencies in her video and pursued Pakistan's agenda. This led to the promotion of radical and anti-national views in her followers on social media. Experts believe that such activities on social media are major threats to national security and need to take strict steps to stop them.

Financial inquiry and suspected transaction

Jyoti's four bank accounts are being investigated, in which suspected transactions have been confirmed from Dubai and other foreign countries. Investigation agencies suspect that he was funded from Pakistan through these accounts.

It is clear from this fervor of financial transactions that this case is not limited to espionage but can also be a broad network behind it being run by foreign agencies.

Jyoti's role in Pahalgam terror attack

The suspicious role in the Pahalgam terror attack is also under investigation against Jyoti. The attack took place in the Pahalgam area of ​​Jammu and Kashmir, in which many soldiers were martyred. 

Police interrogation is trying to find out who Jyoti had contacted before and after the attack, especially Pakistani terrorists and ISI officials.

In this case, Jyoti's social media and phone call records are also being tested so that her relationship with her terrorist network can be exposed.

Court appearance and remand

On May 22, Jyoti was produced in the court in Hisar, where the police sought a four-day remand, and the court approved. During the remand, several investigative agencies, including NIA, Military Intelligence, and IB, were strongly questioned by Jyoti. So far his father has not been allowed to meet him.

Jyoti's family has pleaded for security in the court, as well as concern about her mental and physical health.

Family response

Jyoti's father, Harish Malhotra, said that her daughter was taken by the police with him on the night of 18 May, and she has not been in contact with him since then. He said that Jyoti never told the family about her contacts related to Pakistan.

The family says they want the court and the police to do justice for Jyoti and ensure her safety.

National security and social media challenge

This case makes it clear that social media can become a big challenge if it is misused. Foreign agencies are implicating the youth in their trap with their cunning, which threatens the security of the country.

The government and security agencies should tighten the monitoring on social media, take strict action against fake news and fanatics, and make the youth aware to avoid getting caught in such activities.

Jyoti Malhotra's case a warning

Jyoti Malhotra's case is a warning for the country. This shows that new methods of espionage and treason are now being done through digital mediums and social media.

Investigation agencies are trying to go to the depth of the case so that all the people associated with it can be exposed. It was also clear from this matter that security agencies would have to be alert and vigilant, as well as the general public having to stay away from such activities.
