Jasbir Singh has reportedly been in close contact with several key players in the espionage ring, including PIO Shakir alias Jutt Randhawa.
The Punjab Police has unearthed a major espionage network with suspected links to Pakistan-based handlers and terror outfits, arresting Rupnagar-based YouTuber Jasbir Singh. Acting on intelligence, the State Special Operations Cell (SSOC) in Mohali has launched a detailed investigation into the activities of Jasbir Singh, who operates a YouTube channel called “Jaan Mahal”.
Punjab director general of police (DGP) posted on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “Acting swiftly on actionable intelligence, SSOC Mohali has unearthed a critical espionage network linked to Jasbir Singh, a resident of Village Mahlan, Rupnagar.”
“Investigations have revealed that Jasbir attended the #Pakistan National Day event in #Delhi on Danish’s invitation, where he met Pakistani #Army officials and vloggers. He travelled to Pakistan on three occasions (2020, 2021, 2024), and his electronic devices contained multiple Pakistan-based numbers, now under detailed forensic scrutiny,” the Punjab top cop posted.
After Jyoti Malhotra’s arrest, Jasbir tried to erase all traces of his communications with these PIOs to avoid detection, the DGP said, adding that an FIR has been registered at SSOC in Mohali in this matter.
“Investigations are underway to dismantle the broader espionage-terror network and identify all collaborators. @PunjabPoliceInd reaffirms its unwavering commitment to safeguarding national security and neutralizing all threats posed by such anti-national elements,” he said.
