The Supreme Court dismissed the bail plea of Haryana-based travel blogger Jyoti Malhotra, observing that allegations of sharing sensitive information with Pakistani intelligence operatives were “very serious.” The Court held that national security considerations must prevail while examining bail requests in such cases.
Jyoti Rani’s lawyer, Kumar Mukesh, pledges to defend her espionage case amidst online backlash, asserting her innocence under Indian law. Jyoti, currently in judicial custody, is accused of sharing sensitive data with Pakistan. Mukesh plans to file a bail petition after reviewing case documents, which have yet to be received.
