Indian authorities have arrested YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra for allegedly sharing sensitive information with a Pakistani citizen. Defence Expert Hemant Mahajan emphasized the importance of apprehending all agents working for Pakistan and China in India, describing the development as vital for national security.

Malhotra, hailing from Haryana's Hisar, is accused of communicating with a Pakistani officer and disseminating sensitive information. Reports indicate she met the officer in Delhi, visited Pakistan twice, and furthered alleged espionage activities. The case has prompted collaboration between Puri and Haryana police.

Meanwhile, political tensions rise as opposition leader Rahul Gandhi criticized External Affairs Minister Jaishankar for remaining silent on aircraft losses during Operation Sindoor. The military operation was initiated after a deadly terror attack, aiming to dismantle terrorist networks in Pakistan-controlled territories.
