YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra Spied For Pakistan, Cops Find Concrete Evidence: Report
The police have found concrete evidence that YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra had been spying for Pakistan for a long time, a report said.
Concrete evidence against YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra has been found that she was spying for Pakistan, according to a report in NDTV, which cited a 2,500-page chargesheet against the woman arrested in May 2025 on charges of espionage.
Malhotra, a travel vlogger who ran her channel on YouTube – Travel With Jo – was arrested in Haryana's Hisar on May 16, days after Operation Sindoor, as part of a larger espionage chain in the country.
The cops had then said that she had travelled to Pakistan multiple times and was in constant touch with Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish at the Pakistan High Commission. Danish was declared persona non grata after the Pahalgam terror attack and was asked by the Government of India to leave within 24 hours for leaking sensitive information to Pakistan on the movements of the Indian Army after the April 22 attack.

‘Indian Missiles Can Wipe Out Our Airbases': Pakistan Journalist Exposes Islamabad's Hollow Claims On Operation Sindoor
Islamabad: Pakistan's loud claims after Operation Sindoor have taken a direct hit from within. A senior Pakistani journalist has admitted that the country has no credible shield against Indian missiles and that Indian strikes have already exposed the vulnerability of Pakistan's airbases. Najam Sethi, a veteran journalist and political commentator, made the remarks on Samaa TV. He said the truth lies in Pakistan's lack of missile defence. 'As of now, you don't have any S-400-type missile defence system, no Iron Dome, there is nothing to protect yourself against Indian missiles. India has demonstrated that the missile technology and missile accuracy they possess is capable of targeting both your airbases and your so-called offices of freedom fighters. So, your biggest problem is that if they launch missiles on your airbases, where your planes are parked, then there can be a lot of damage,' he said. Hard TRUTHS of #OperationSindoor - Former Punjab CM & Journo Ruins Munir's Pakistan Party India had a field (Marshal) day! Najam Sethi rips apart Pakistan's flaws in terms of India's precision missile strikes & its capabilities of striking with little or no defence system to… — RT_India (@RT_India_news) August 18, 2025 His comments directly challenge Islamabad's official line. The government had claimed that Operation Sindoor was largely symbolic. Propaganda outlets dismissed the Indian strikes as ineffective. Sethi's words revealed otherwise. He confirmed that Indian forces, during their May 7-10 strikes, hit planes parked inside Pakistani airbases with precision. The admission cuts to the core of Pakistan's defence posture. India's strikes proved that its missiles can hit critical airbases, aircraft hangars and command facilities at will. Pakistan has no operational system to protect its jets or secure its strategic installations. The narrative from Islamabad began to crumble further once independent evidence emerged. High-resolution satellite imagery from global firms and defence analysts confirmed widespread destruction. The images displayed direct hits on runways, visible craters on tarmac and wrecked hangars. Storage facilities and adjoining compounds associated with terror groups were seen flattened. The visual proof backed India's official statements. The satellite data showed the reach and accuracy of the Indian strikes. The damage included military-linked facilities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as well as terror safe havens inside Pakistan. The impact of Operation Sindoor has now been validated from two directions. First, through international satellite confirmation. Second, through the candid words of Pakistan's own senior journalist. The combination has left Islamabad with little space to defend its earlier claims.

Budapest Tipped As Top Choice For Russia-Ukraine Peace Summit With Trump: Report
The US Secret Service has allegedly initiated logistical and security assessments in Budapest, signalling that the site is being seriously considered. Following individual meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, US President Donald Trump has now 'begun preparations" for a trilateral summit aimed at negotiating an end to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. According to a report by Politico, which cited a source close to the White House, several venues are under consideration, with Hungary's capital, Budapest, emerging as the leading candidate. The US Secret Service has allegedly initiated logistical and security assessments in Budapest, signalling that the site is being seriously considered. Hungary's potential role as host is notable, given Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's longstanding alliance with Trump, dating back to his first presidential term. Orbán has also maintained cordial ties with the Kremlin, often diverging from broader EU policies on Russia, further positioning Hungary as a favourable location for Moscow. Budapest's appeal for the summit extends beyond diplomacy. According to an APT report, Hungary's recent withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC) in March 2025 provides Russian President Vladimir Putin with a key advantage, i.e., immunity from arrest under the ICC's warrant. The ICC issued an arrest order for Putin in March 2023, holding him responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children during the conflict. While ICC member states are legally obligated to detain individuals under indictment if they enter their territory, Hungary's withdrawal offers a legal loophole, ensuring Putin's protection. Despite the momentum building around Budapest, neither Trump nor Zelenskyy confirmed the date or venue for the summit during their meeting at the White House earlier this week. Alternate proposals have also been floated. During a recent meeting in Alaska, Putin proposed Moscow as a potential venue, while French President Emmanuel Macron advocated for Geneva, suggesting Switzerland's historical neutrality made it a suitable host. Switzerland has even offered diplomatic immunity to Putin for the purpose of peace talks, signalling its openness to facilitate negotiations. However, Budapest may be a politically sensitive choice for Ukraine. The city evokes painful memories of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, under which the US, UK, and Russia guaranteed Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in exchange for giving up its nuclear arsenal. That agreement lost credibility when Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, with signatories failing to provide military support to Ukraine in response. view comments First Published: August 19, 2025, 23:43 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
