Six Indian nationals — including a Haryana-based travel blogger — have been arrested for allegedly passing sensitive information to Pakistani operatives. 

The network spanned across Haryana and Punjab, with key operatives acting as agents, financial conduits, and informants.

Among the accused is Jyoti Malhotra, who ran the YouTube channel "Travel with Jo". Authorities have revealed that she visited Pakistan in 2023 after acquiring a visa through commission agents. 

During her trip, she developed close ties with Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, a staff member at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi.
