Slowly and steadily, many revelations linked to YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra have started to unravel. India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) is questioning Jyoti Malhotra as she has been arrested on allegations of working as a spy for Pakistan. As Operation Sindoor is on a halt, India has intensified its crackdown to bust ISI's network in the country, and therefore, it has made multiple arrests on allegations of espionage. The case of Jyoti Malhotra has become a prime-time topic not only on social media but also on TV channels.
With investigations and questioning going on, Jyoti Malhotra's WhatsApp Chats have surfaced. Not only this, but the authorities have also recovered Jyoti Malhotra's personal diary in which she had expressed her views on Pakistan.
Jyoti Malhotra's WhatsApp Chats
As per Dainik Bhasker, Jyoti Malhotra's WhatsApp Chats with a Pakistani ISI Agent have surfaced. Below is the content of the chat-
Hasan Ali tells Jyoti- "Jo yaar, my heart always prays that you stay happy. You should always be cheerful, no sorrow will come in your life."
To this, Jyoti told Hasan with a laughing emoji, "Get me married in Pakistan."
Reports further suggest that Pakistani Agent asked Jyoti about any R&AW agent at Attari Border-
Ali Hasan: "When you went to Attari, who all got the protocol there?”
Jyoti: "Who got it, I did not get it."
Ali Hasan: "It means, if he is some undercover person, then you can tell by looking at him, how you would take him out or bring him inside. It’s my matter, you had to bring him inside the gurudwara, you had to make both of them sit in the room, keep doing that."
Jyoti: "No, he was not that crazy."
More on Jyoti Malhotra
Jyoti had gone to Pathankot a year ago. However, she did not make any videos related to traveling there. But the photo and small clip shared on Facebook revealed her visit there. After which, the team of National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) took her to Pathankot on Tuesday (May 20).
NIA has considered her Pathankot visit suspicious. It is speculated that she had come here for the purpose of reconnaissance of the Army Cantonment and Airbase. After Operation Sindoor, the Pakistani Army had tried to target the Army Cantonment and Airbase in Pathankot. There has been an attack here in 2016 as well.
What came out in Jyoti's interrogation and investigation
In a forensic investigation, things related to the army have been found in Jyoti's mobile. Along with this, transactions from Dubai were also found in the bank account. A YouTuber from Jammu and Kashmir was also brought to Chandigarh by the police there. He was also questioned in front of Jyoti.
It also came to light that after Operation Sindoor, she had chatted with Danish, an officer of the Pakistani Embassy. Apart from the siren sounding in it, she also shared the blackout message sent by the administration to Danish. But, after this, the chat was deleted.
Sent Videos of the Golden Temple and tourist spots
It also came to light that Jyoti had sent videos of the Golden Temple and tourist spots of Kashmir along with the location to Pakistani agents through encrypted mediums like WhatsApp, Snapchat, and Telegram. NIA has interrogated Jyoti for three days. Her remand is ending on 22 May. She will be presented in the Hisar court.
A special pattern in Jyoti's travel videos
While investigating Jyoti in Chandigarh, the NIA team has seen a special kind of pattern in her travel videos. Most of the videos on her YouTube channel 'Travel with JO' are of religious tourism. However, instead of information about religious places in these videos, she has focused more on the security there. This was especially seen in the videos of border areas.
After this, the NIA and IB teams have also started investigating the videos of her Pakistan, China, Indonesia, Dubai, Thailand, Nepal, and Bhutan. As per reports, the NIA can take Jyoti's espionage case completely in its hands, so that this matter related to national security can be investigated closely.
Jyoti Malhotra's personal diary
Investigative agencies have also found a diary from Jyoti's house. In which she wrote, "I have returned from a 10-day trip to Pakistan. During this time, I got a lot of love from the people of Pakistan. Our subscribers and friends also came to meet us. The 2 days I got to visit Lahore were too less."
"I don't know how long the border distances will remain. The more you say about Pakistan's buses and trucks, the less it will be. Crazy and colourful. I request the Pakistan government to open more routes for Indians to Gurudwaras and temples and create facilities so that Hindu people can also visit there. They can meet those who were separated from their families in 1947."
The diary shows that Jyoti was learning Urdu along with Hindi.
