Mohali court remands YouTuber Jasbir Singh to 2 days of police custody. What are the charges against him?
Three days after being arrested on espionage charges, a Mohali court on Saturday remanded YouTuber Jasbir Singh to two days of police custody, reported ANI. According to the report, Jasbir Singh alias Jaan Mahal (41) is a resident of Village Mahlan in Rupnagar. He has been operating a YouTube channel "JaanMahal Video" with over 11 lakh subscribers and posting travel and cooking vlogs. Commenting on Jasbir's remand, his lawyer said, as quoted by ANI, "The police had asked for 7 days remand... We asked the police through the court what they did in 3 days. Today, he has been sent to a 2-day police remand." The police further alleged that Jasbir maintained close contact with Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, who was earlier arrested for espionage. Also, Jasbir even maintained close relations with Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, a Pakistani national and expelled Pakistan High Commission official, as alleged by the police. The Punjab Police's State Special Operation Cell (SSOC), SAS Nagar, on Wednesday arrested Jasbir Singh for spying for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav said in an official statement. DGP Gaurav Yadav had said that Jasbir was found associated with Pakistani Intelligence Operative (PIO) Shakir alias Jutt Randhawa, which is a part of a terror-backed espionage network. The DGP further added that Jasbir maintained close contact with Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra and Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish. Among other things, DGP Yadav said Jasbir attended the Pakistan National Day event in Delhi on Danish's invitation, where he met Pakistani Army officials and vloggers. The senior police official added the accused travelled to Pakistan on three occasions, including in 2020, 2021 and 2024, and came into direct contact with ISI officers. He was recruited then to carry out espionage activities within India. Concluding his statement, DGP Yadav said Jasbir attempted to erase all traces of his communications with these PIOs to avoid detection, following Jyoti Malhotra's arrest. Meanwhile, investigations are underway to dismantle the broader espionage-terror network. A report by NDTV stated that the ones who are currently facing espionage charges include 25-year-old Patiala's Khalsa College student Davendra Singh Dhillon, 24-year-old security guard in Haryana Nauman Ilahi, 28-year-old health worker from Gujarat Sahdev Singh Gohil, Arman and Tarif from Haryana, and Rajasthan government employee from Jaisalmer Shakur Khan. All the above mentioned people have been arrested on espionage charges and their links with Pakistan's ISI.

Masood Azhar for Peace? Priyanka Chaturvedi Rips Into UN Hypocrisy Over Pak's Counter-Terror Role
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi delivered a powerful address on global inaction against terrorism, calling out Pakistan's role and the irony of its position on the UN Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Committee. Speaking in Berlin, Chaturvedi highlighted India's dual legacy — of peace from Mahatma Gandhi and Buddha, and of righteous resistance from Lord Krishna. She declared that India will not hesitate to fight terror in pursuit of justice. Taking a strong stand, she slammed Pakistan's hypocrisy, likening its appointment as vice-chair of the counter-terror panel to "making Masood Azhar a professor of global peace." Her remarks come in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, as Indian leaders mount a diplomatic offensive abroad.#priyanka chaturvedi #shiv sena ubt #india pakistan #berlin speech #masood azhar #unsc vice chair #counter terrorism hypocrisy #pahalgam attack #operation sindoor #india fights terror #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews Read More
