India’s widening espionage probe has taken a dramatic turn with new footage surfacing of travel vlogger Jyoti Malhotra during her visit to Puri, Odisha in September last year. Once seen as an influencer promoting cultural tourism, Malhotra is now under intense scrutiny for potential involvement in a covert intelligence operation.


Recent videos show Malhotra praying at the Shree Jagannath Temple, filming extensively along the Bada Danda, and walking the Puri sea beach. While seemingly benign, officials are treating her presence at culturally sensitive sites as a potential red flag. Authorities fear the content she captured may have been used for purposes beyond tourism—possibly as part of an information-gathering mission.

Security agencies are now digging into her financial transactions, digital footprint, and foreign connections. A key lead involves her alleged ties with Pakistani intelligence operative Shakir, also known as Rana Shahbaz, whose contact she had saved as “Jatt Randhawa.”

Officials suspect that Malhotra’s identity as a travel blogger may have been used as a cover for espionage activities. Her visit to a high-profile religious and historic site like Puri—without notifying authorities or seeking media clearance—has raised further suspicions, especially as it overlaps with the timeline of other intelligence breaches under investigation.

While there is no direct evidence of data theft from Odisha yet, intelligence officials are treating the Puri visit as a critical lead in what appears to be a broader and more sophisticated espionage network.

The case has sparked concern over security protocols at heritage and religious sites, and whether current systems are robust enough to detect and prevent the misuse of such public access by foreign agents disguised as influencers or tourists.

As the investigation continues, Jyoti Malhotra’s true intentions in Odisha remain under the scanner—prompting calls for greater vigilance and vetting of digital content creators who frequent strategic and culturally sensitive zones.
