What About VIPs At Kartarpur And Attari, Asked ISI. Jyoti Malhotra Allegedly Replied...
Last Updated: Sources said that Jyoti Malhotra and several other alleged agents were tasked with reporting on high-level movement at the Attari-Wagah border and within the Kartarpur Corridor In a widening espionage probe, startling details have emerged from the case of YouTuber and travel vlogger Jyoti Malhotra, who was arrested on charges of transmitting sensitive information to Pakistani intelligence operatives. The revelations, part of an investigation dubbed Operation Mir Jafar, suggest an organised effort by Pakistan 's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to monitor VIP movement at strategic India-Pakistan border points. News18 Hindi cited sources close to the investigation as saying that Malhotra and several other alleged agents were tasked with reporting on high-level movement at the Attari-Wagah border and within the Kartarpur Corridor – a visa-free passage that allows Indian pilgrims to visit the revered Gurudwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan. The information was allegedly sought under the guise of routine conversations, but forensic experts are now combing through seized digital devices to uncover deeper ties and deleted communications. Forensic analysis is currently underway on the mobile phones and laptops confiscated from Malhotra and other detainees. Preliminary findings suggest that large swathes of data, believed to include chat logs with Pakistani handlers, were intentionally wiped. Investigators believe this was done to conceal sensitive exchanges that could confirm espionage activities. One name that keeps surfacing in the probe is 'Ali Hasan', allegedly a Pakistani intelligence officer who directed agents on the ground. Intelligence officers say Hasan was particularly interested in who received official protocol during visits to Attari and Kartarpur, hinting at an effort to identify undercover Indian officials or VIPs operating under anonymity. In one intercepted conversation, Malhotra reportedly told Hasan that she herself did not receive any protocol while visiting Attari. Hasan allegedly responded by saying that high-value or covert individuals are accorded a different, discreet treatment. He then instructed her to inform him of any such persons and to ensure they were isolated – even advising that certain individuals be seated separately inside the Kartarpur Gurudwara. It has also come to light that Jyoti Malhotra attempted to approach a specific person inside the Gurudwara, seemingly under orders. However, the individual did not engage with her. In a message to her handler, Malhotra reportedly remarked that the person was 'not crazy", indicating perhaps that he was wary of a potential setup. The scope of the investigation is broadening as agencies work to identify others who may have been operating under the influence or instruction of the same Pakistani operative. Each suspect is being interrogated separately to piece together the full extent of the network. Investigators believe that the spy ring may have operated under the radar for some time, collecting seemingly benign but strategically valuable intelligence about movements, patterns, and security operations at key border sites. Officials warn that more arrests may follow as electronic forensics and intelligence cross-verification progress. Watch India Pakistan Breaking News on CNN-News18.

Operation Sindoor: Masood Azhar, Hafiz Saeed, Syed Salahuddin Relocated To Pakistan Army HQs?
Last Updated: Intelligence sources indicate that these figures may have been shifted to the 4th Corps in Lahore, 5th Corps in Karachi, 10th Corps in Rawalpindi, and 11th Corps in Peshawar India's recent military action, Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and PoK, appears to have triggered notable shifts in the region. According to a report by News18 Hindi, there are indications that the Pakistani army and terrorist leaders may be aligning more openly in the wake of the strikes, a development that could signal growing desperation on their part. News18 Hindi cited sources as indicating that the Pakistani army may have moved several key terrorists, including the top three, to four of its military headquarters. Other operatives have reportedly been instructed to stay within densely populated civilian areas for the time being. It has been reported that the impact of India's airstrike has made it challenging for Pakistan to establish new hideouts for the terrorists. It has also been claimed that following the operation, the key figures in Pakistan's terror landscape have grown increasingly anxious about their security. The Pakistani army and intelligence also fear that unknown assailants might target them amidst the current turmoil. The report added that notable terror leaders Masood Azhar, Hafiz Saeed, and Syed Salahuddin, along with other significant commanders, may have been moved to different headquarters of the Pakistan Army. Intelligence sources indicate that these figures may have been shifted to the 4th Corps in Lahore, 5th Corps in Karachi, 10th Corps in Rawalpindi, and 11th Corps in Peshawar. It has been claimed that Pakistani commandos have been deployed to ensure their security, and ordinary citizens are currently prohibited from meeting them. According to the News18 Hindi report, the Pakistan Army and its intelligence agency are now facing major hurdles in creating new hideouts for terrorists. Sources suggest that establishing camps in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is difficult due to ongoing tensions with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban. Balochistan is also seen as unsuitable, given the strong influence of the Baloch Liberation Army. As a result, Punjab is believed to be the only feasible region where new terror camps could potentially be established. In a bold counter-terror operation on Wednesday, Indian armed forces launched targeted strikes on terror camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The Indian government described the action as a pre-emptive measure aimed at safeguarding national security and deterring further cross-border aggression. Reaffirming its firm stance against terrorism, the government underlined its commitment to dismantling terror networks and crippling the systems that enable them to operate.
