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.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court rejected bail for YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, arrested last year for allegedly sharing sensitive information with Pakistani intelligence officials. The court said there was “abundant evidence”, noting attempts to delete conversation records and alleged transmission of sensitive data to operatives of the Pakistan intelligence agency.
YouTuber Jasbir Singh has been arrested and is in 3-day police custody due to his alleged involvement in a Pakistan-backed spy network. His connections include Shakir, a PIO linked to espionage, and another arrested YouTuber, Jyoti Malhotra. Investigations reveal Singh’s attendance at a Pakistani event and communications with suspected spies.
