Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra was recently arrested on charges of spying for Pakistan.
Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra was recently arrested on charges of spying for Pakistan. Her father has revealed that he wasn’t aware of his daughter’s trips to the neighbouring country. He even said that he was unaware of Malhotra’s YouTube or any other social media accounts. Harish, in a recent conversation, revealed that his daughter told him that she was just going to Delhi.
What Jyoti Malhotra’s Father Said
During an interaction with ANI, Harish Malhotra said, “She used to tell me that she was going to Delhi. She never told me anything.” This remark countered his earlier comment about his claiming his daughter went to Pakistan to shoot videos. He also added that Jyoti used to make videos at home. Among the 450 videos on her YouTube channel, Malhotra’s page also included some content from Pakistan with videos labelled as ‘Indian Girl Exploring Lahore’, ‘Indian Girl at Katas Raj Temple’ and ‘Indian Girl Rides Luxury Bus in Pakistan’.
Her father, Harish Malhotra, said that she worked in Delhi before COVID-19, but then quit her job. The police said that the YouTuber went to Kashmir before the horrific Pahalgam attack, and even visited Pakistan before that. They also claimed that the PIO was grooming her to be an asset.

The police also said that she had allegedly met some high-profile people on her visit to Pakistan. Jyoti is among the 12 other people arrested for allegedly spying for the neighbouring country.
These arrests come to light amid the rising conflict between the two countries after the Pahalgam attack, followed by Operation Sindoor.
