Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, known for her channel 'Travel with Jo', has been arrested on allegations of espionage for Pakistan. Investigations reveal that several of her travel videos were sponsored by UAE-based firm Wego, which operates in Pakistan under a valid travel agency license. Malhotra, who has around 4 lakh YouTube subscribers and 1.32 lakh Instagram followers, is suspected of sharing sensitive information with Pakistani intelligence operatives during Operation Sindoor, India's retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack. While there's no direct evidence linking Wego to Pakistani funding, its operations in the country have raised concerns. Authorities are scrutinizing all her sponsorships as part of the ongoing investigation. (PC: India Today)
