Jyoti Malhotra, a Haryana-based travel vlogger with a significant online following, was arrested in May 2025 for allegedly passing sensitive military information to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Authorities claim she maintained contact with Pakistani intelligence operatives via social media platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Snapchat. Investigations reveal she traveled to Pakistan in 2023, met with a Pakistani High Commission official, and later visited sensitive regions including Kashmir and Ladakh. Her arrest, under the Official Secrets Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, has raised concerns about the potential misuse of social media by influencers and the implications for national security. Other travel influencers linked to Malhotra are also under scrutiny, though no formal charges have been filed against them. (PC: Travel with Jo)
