YouTuber Armaan Malik claims threats and being followed by unknown car, urges police for arms license to protect family
Armaan Malik, known for his YouTube fame and a controversial stint on Bigg Boss OTT 3, is now facing a real-life nightmare off-camera. Recently, he made a dramatic plea on Instagram, revealing he's been receiving death threats and was even followed by an unknown car—a terrifying experience that pushed him to ask the Punjab Police for an arms license to ensure his family's safety.
Armaan Malik urges Punjab police for arms license after receiving threats
In an emotional video shared late Thursday night, Armaan, alongside his second wife Kritika Malik, detailed the troubling situation. The YouTuber said he had been living in Zirakpur for the past five years and had been constantly harassed by threats to his life. 'An FIR has been filed, but the situation has only escalated,' Armaan explained. 'A few days ago, I was followed by an unidentified car, and though I immediately contacted the police and shared the car's registration details, there was no follow-up from their end.'
Despite his efforts to get an arms license for his family's protection, Armaan claims he has faced constant roadblocks. The authorities have cited an alleged case against him, which he calls "false and baseless" and is currently being resolved in court. Yet, he remains unable to secure any protection.
'I have taken every legal step. I have filed complaints, I have submitted applications, but nothing seems to change,' Armaan said, clearly frustrated. 'Should I and my family continue to live under this constant threat of danger?'
Who is Armaan Malik?
In his appeal, Armaan emphasised his right as a father and a responsible citizen to protect his family. 'I have every right to defend myself and my loved ones,' he said. 'This is not an act of rebellion. It's the plea of a helpless citizen who just wants safety.'
Armaan, known for his unconventional family structure with two wives, Payal Malik and Kritika Malik, continues to be a prominent figure on social media. However, his personal safety concerns have now taken centre stage, overshadowing his online persona.
As Armaan awaits further action from the police, his followers and fans have rallied behind him, expressing concern over his well-being. The influencer community, meanwhile, is growing increasingly vocal about the need for better safety measures for public figures like Armaan and his family. Will the authorities act in time, or will Armaan's fears of escalating danger continue to haunt him? Only time will tell.

YouTuber Jasbir Singh's police remand extended by two days in spying case
A Mohali court on Saturday extended for two days the police remand of Punjab-based YouTuber Jasbir Singh, who was arrested on espionage charges on June 4. Jasbir Singh was produced before the court after his three-day police remand ended on Saturday. Police sought a seven-day remand but the court granted them two days, his counsel said. Jasbir Singh was in touch with influencer Jyoti Malhotra, who is in custody on charges of spying for Pakistan, and after his arrest the police had said that it had unearthed a terror-backed espionage network linking him to Pakistani intelligence and army officials. The police had said that the YouTuber was allegedly spying for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Jasbir Singh, alias Jaan Mahal, 41, a resident of Mahlan village in Rupnagar district, was running a YouTube channel JaanMahal Video with over 11 lakh subscribers, ostensibly posting travel and cooking vlogs. He was found to be associated with a Pakistani Intelligence Operative (PIO), was in contact with a Pakistan High Commission official who was recently expelled from New Delhi on charges of spying and had met Pakistan army officials during one of his three visits to the neighbouring country, police had earlier alleged. He was found to be associated with PIO Shakir, alias Jatt Randhawa, part of a terror-backed espionage network. The accused had also travelled to Pakistan in 2020, 2021 and 2024, and came into contact with ISI officers, who subsequently cultivated and recruited him to carry out espionage activities within India, the police had said. Hisar native Jyoti Malhotra, 33, who was running the YouTube channel, Travel with JO, was arrested last month. On May 13, India had expelled Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, who was posted at the Pakistan High Commission, for allegedly indulging in espionage. Malhotra was allegedly in touch with Danish since November 2023.

Punjab Police Seek Details Of Tinder Profile Suspected To Be Linked With Amritpal Singh
Last Updated: Punjab Police has sought details from online dating app Tinder about an account suspected to be linked with radical preacher and Punjab MP Amritpal Singh. As probe continues into the Sikh activist Gurpreet Singh Hari Nau murder case, the Punjab Police has sought details from online dating app Tinder about an account suspected to be linked with radical preacher and Punjab MP Amritpal Singh, who has been booked in the case. In the written communication dated May 26, the Faridkot police told Tinder that it was probing the killing of Nau who was shot dead on his way home from village Gurdwara on October 9 last year, news agency PTI reported. Nau was a member of the radical outfit 'Waris Punjab De' headed by Amritpal Singh. Earlier in October last year, Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav had alleged that the Sikh activist was murdered allegedly at the behest of Amritpal Singh, who is currently behind bars under the stringent National Security Act. Cops also claimed that gangster-turned-terrorist Arshdeep Singh, alias Arsh Dalla, plotted the killing. Police said two gunmen of the gang were nabbed in the case registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act. The letter written by police to Tinder read, 'This is to inform you that the Punjab Police, India, is currently investigating a murder case registered under FIR No. 159 dated 10-10-2024 under Sections 103(1), 126(2), and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 along with relevant provisions of the Arms Act. 1959, at Police Station Sadar Kotkapura, District Faridkot, Punjab, India." 'On 09-10-2024, Gurpreet Singh, a well-known online activist, was shot dead by two assailants on a motorcycle. The deceased managed a Facebook page 'Hari Nau Talks' and had been outspoken against the Sikh radical Amritpal Singh. Shooters have been apprehended and are under investigation." the police further wrote. 'During the course of investigation, a Tinder account under the name 'Amrit Sandhu' (screenshot attached) was identified, and the account is suspected to be linked with Amritpal Singh, accused in the said FIR. The communication and analysis of data might provide evidence to the Investigating Agency relevant to the FIR," they added. As part of probe, cops have asked Tinder to provide with them the subscriber details including name, date of birth, phone number, location information, and IP address logs since January 1, 2019, of the account. They also sought details of all linked e-mail addresses and phone numbers, photographs and media files uploaded by the account, friends/contacts list and mutual matches, chat history and messages exchanged via the Tinder platform and any other detail. A parliamentarian from the Khadoor Sahib constituency, Amritpal Singh is currently lodged in Assam's Dibrugarh jail. 'Waris Punjab De' outfit chief Amritpal has styled himself after slain Khalistani militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. First Published: June 07, 2025, 16:11 IST
