Names like Shakir and Rana Shabaz have emerged. Jyoti told the police that she saved the security agents' numbers under different names on her phone to avoid suspicion.
Sharing Sensitive Information Through Social Media
Jyoti used social media apps like WhatsApp, Snapchat, and Telegram to stay in touch with Pakistani agents. According to the police, she provided them with sensitive information that could compromise national security.
