Indian influencers face espionage probe after visiting Pakistan — is cultural exchange now a crime?

Indian vloggers Jyoti Malhotra, Priyanka Senapati, and Devinder Singh Dhillon are under investigation for allegedly being part of an espionage network. Their supposed offense? Visiting Pakistan, sharing their travels online, and engaging with cultural and religious sites.

At the center of the controversy is Ramesh Singh Arora, Pakistan’s most senior Sikh leader and a current cabinet minister, whom Indian media has portrayed as a suspicious figure behind “influence operations.” Arora rejects this framing, calling it an attack on cultural diplomacy.
