In a startling moment caught on camera, Scottish YouTuber Callum Mill who runs the travel channel Callum Abroad was left baffled after witnessing fellow vlogger Jyoti Malhotra roam Lahore’s bustling Anarkali Bazaar surrounded by six armed men wielding AK-47s.
An Unexpected Encounter in Lahore
The video, filmed during Callum’s visit to Pakistan in March, captures the vibrant chaos of Anarkali Bazaar one of the oldest markets in South Asia. In the midst of the crowd, Callum spots several heavily armed men wearing jackets emblazoned with “No Fear.” Moments later, Indian YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra enters the frame, also recording video content.
Their brief exchange was seemingly casual. Jyoti, now under investigation in India for alleged espionage, asks Callum if it’s his first time in Pakistan. “No, five times,” he replies. She then inquires if he has been to India and introduces herself as “India” rather than by name. When asked about Pakistani hospitality, she responds, “It’s great.”
“Look at All the Guns”
As the interaction ends and Jyoti continues through the market, Callum’s tone shifts. Realizing the men with rifles are accompanying her, he remarks in disbelief:
“She’s the one with the guys, with all the security. I don’t know why, what’s the need for all the guns? Look at all the guns she has got surrounding her. There are six gunmen surrounding her.”
The video not only shows the gunmen but also a small entourage appearing to be other “tourists” with Jyoti raising questions about who they were and why such heavy security was needed.
Who Is Jyoti Malhotra?
Jyoti Malhotra, a Haryana-based YouTuber, was arrested in India in May 2025 on charges of spying for Pakistan. Authorities allege that she was in contact with operatives from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and may have shared sensitive, though non-military, information during multiple visits to Pakistan between 2023 and 2025.
Her arrest is linked to a larger investigation following Operation Sindoor, India’s retaliatory strike after the deadly Pahalgam terror attack. Jyoti’s encrypted communications, her visits to sensitive areas, and suspicious financial activity are currently under investigation.
Unanswered Questions
The video now circulating online raises critical concerns:
- Why did Jyoti Malhotra require such heavy, visible security in a public market?
- Were the armed men official security personnel or private guards in plain clothes?
- Who were the unidentified individuals seen accompanying her?
In contrast, Callum—despite being a foreign national—was walking through the same market alone, relying only on a camera and a smile to document his journey.
Conclusion
This encounter, now viral on social media, adds another layer of intrigue to the espionage case against Jyoti Malhotra. The image of a YouTuber being flanked by six armed men with AK-47s in a public market raises more questions than answers, at a time when India-Pakistan tensions remain high and digital platforms are increasingly entangled with geopolitics.
