A court here on Thursday extended the police remand of content creator and social media influencer Jyoti Malhotra by four days, a police spokesperson said.
The 33-year-old YouTuber — arrested on suspicion of espionage — was produced before the court at the end of her five-day police remand.
Malhotra was among the 12 people arrested from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh over the past two weeks on suspicion of espionage, with investigators suspecting the presence of a Pakistan-linked spy network operating in north India.
The Hisar native ran a YouTube channel “Travel with JO”. She was arrested at the New Aggarsain Extension last week and booked under provisions of the Official Secrets Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Hisar police said on Wednesday that no evidence had emerged to indicate Malhotra had access to any military- or defence-related information.
