Law enforcement agencies in Maharashtra are on high alert following crucial intelligence inputs from Central agencies based in New Delhi. The intel reveals that Jyoti Malhotra, a Haryana-based YouTuber accused of spying for Pakistan, had conducted reconnaissance at Lalbaugcha Raja during the Ganpati festival over the past two years. Malhotra is accused of travelling to Pakistan multiple times, where she allegedly met with intelligence operatives and shared sensitive and classified information.

Speaking to mid-day, Maharashtra’s Minister of State for Home, Yogesh Kadam, said, “We have received inputs from Central agencies that YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra made several visits to Mumbai. She reportedly clicked multiple photos and videos, the purpose of which remains unclear. All our security agencies, especially in Mumbai, are on high alert.” “We are gathering more information regarding all the places she visited. This is a highly sensitive matter, so we cannot share extensive details at this point. However, the investigation is progressing in the right direction,” Kadam added.
