Espionage case: YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra sent to judicial custody

 

 

A COURT here on Monday remanded YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra to judicial custody after the end of her police remand in a case of alleged espionage. The 33-year-old travel influencer was produced in the court. A police spokesperson said that they did not seek her further remand after which the court sent her to jail. Meanwhile, data from Malhotra’s three mobile phones and a laptop, which had been sent for forensic examination, has been recovered, police sources said on Monday. “Nearly 10-12 terabytes of data has been recovered.

 

Further investigation in this regard is under progress,” they said. After her arrest, the police had sent Malhotra’s three mobile phones and a laptop for forensic examination. Malhotra’s four bank accounts are also being examined. The court had extended Malhotra’s police remand by four days when the YouTuber -- arrested on suspicion of espionage -- was last week produced before the court at the end of her five-day police remand.
