New Delhi: Another WhatsApp chat of Hisar-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, who was arrested on suspicion of spying for Pakistan, has surfaced, intensifying the ongoing investigation.
In the latest chat, an ISI agent identified as Hasan Ali is seen giving his blessings to Jyoti, to which she responds by asking him to marry her in Pakistan.
Authorities revealed that Jyoti had visited Pathankot a year ago. Although she did not upload any video from the trip, a photo on Facebook and a brief video clip confirmed her presence there.
Based on this, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) took her to Pathankot on Tuesday, May 20, for further inquiry.
Officials have flagged her visit as suspicious, suspecting it may have involved reconnaissance of the army cantonment and airbase. After India’s Operation Sindoor, the Pakistan Army reportedly attempted to target strategic locations in Pathankot, which was also the site of a major terrorist attack in 2016.
Meanwhile, a team from Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, has arrived in Hisar to question Jyoti as investigations expand across states.
