New Delhi : YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, who was arrested by Hisar police earlier this month for allegedly spying for Pakistan, has been sent to 14 days of judicial custody by a court in Haryana’s Hisar on Monday. Earlier, she was sent to police remand for 4 days.
She was initially sent to police remand for five days and again appeared before the court on May 22. The court granted an additional four-day custody for further interrogation, which ended on Monday. According to Hisar police, while no evidence had surfaced indicating Jyoti had access to any sensitive military or defence-related information, she was reportedly in contact with individuals known to be Pakistani intelligence operatives.
Police sources also said that Jyoti had allegedly been in contact with Ehsan-ur-Rahim, also known as Danish, a former staffer at the Pakistani High Commission, since November 2023. Danish was expelled from India on May 13 for allegedly engaging in espionage activities.
