In a startling twist to the ongoing probe into Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra’s alleged espionage activities, a viral image has surfaced showing her with a man who was recently caught on camera carrying a cake into the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi—just two days after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives.
Jyoti, a travel vlogger from Hisar, is currently under a five-day police remand after being arrested on charges of sharing sensitive information with Pakistani intelligence. The video that has raised alarms features a bearded man in a brown pathani suit entering the High Commission with a cake. When approached by reporters asking about the gesture, the man refused to comment and quickly walked past the media.
Just after Pahalgam terror attack, a man was spotted delivering cake to Pakistan High Commission in Delhi.

This individual is now believed to have appeared in an earlier video with Malhotra, reportedly filmed during a social gathering she attended in Pakistan. According to media reports, she met him at a party while visiting the country.

Investigations have further revealed that Jyoti Malhotra visited Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, in January 2025—just three months before the April terror attack. This detail has raised serious questions among security experts.
Former Jammu and Kashmir DGP Shesh Paul Vaid commented on the matter via social media, suggesting the timing was too coincidental to ignore. “Is it just a coincidence that YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, allegedly honey-trapped by Danish, a suspected ISI agent at the Pakistan High Commission, was in Pahalgam shortly before the attack?” he posted.
He also highlighted that Indian intelligence agencies routinely monitor individuals with frequent contact with adversarial nations such as Pakistan, China, and, more recently, Bangladesh.
According to the FIR filed in the case, Malhotra was in regular communication with Pakistani handlers through encrypted social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Telegram, and Snapchat. This reportedly occurred during a recent military standoff between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor.
While officials note that she had no direct access to classified military information, she is accused of sharing data that could endanger national security. Investigators claim she was involved in passing on operational and strategic insights to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Malhotra, who commands a significant online presence with 377,000 YouTube subscribers and over 130,000 Instagram followers, is now at the center of a high-profile case involving cross-border intelligence operations and national security.
