A court in India has granted bail to a YouTube content creator after ruling that allegations linking him to Pakistan were not supported by evidence. The decision has drawn attention due to the serious nature of the initial accusations.
According to Beyond Time News, the ruling highlights that claims made by investigative agencies were not backed by verified digital or documentary proof.
Bail Granted by Punjab and Haryana High Court
The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted bail to YouTuber Jasbir Singh, who runs the channel “Jaan Mahal.” The court observed that no concrete evidence showed communication with Pakistani nationals or the sharing of sensitive information.
Justice Vinod S. Bhardwaj noted that mobile data and records did not reveal any chats or messages suggesting contact with individuals in Pakistan.

Allegations in the Case
The case was registered by the State Special Operations Cell in Mohali in June 2025. Authorities had alleged that the vlogger travelled to Pakistan multiple times and was in contact with intelligence operatives.
He was also accused of sharing sensitive information related to Indian Army movements through his online content.
Court Finds Lack of Evidence
However, the court found that the content shared on his YouTube channel consisted mainly of travel-related videos. It further noted that the material did not include any classified or restricted information.
In addition, the court stated that there was no strong supporting evidence to establish intent or wrongdoing. As a result, the allegations were not considered proven at this stage.
Custody and Legal Observations
The court also took into account that the accused had already spent several months in custody. It further noted his clean previous record while deciding to grant bail.
Legal representatives argued that the case was based on routine travel vlogs rather than any national security concerns.
Conclusion
Overall, the court’s decision underscores the importance of evidence in cases involving serious allegations. The ruling also highlights how digital content cases are increasingly being examined closely in the judicial system before drawing conclusions.
