'We were not aware that she went to Pakistan', said the father of YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, who has been arrested for spying for ISI.
Speaking on Monday, the father said that he was not even aware of her daughter's social media accounts, including her YouTube channel.
"She used to tell me that she was going to Delhi. She never told me anything. She used to make videos at home," the father stated.
Jyoti Malhotra, arrested last week, runs a YouTube channel 'Travel with JO', and hails from Hisar in Haryana. According to the police statement, Jyoti visited Pakistan twice and was in constant touch with an official from the Pakistan High Commission.
Her father then informed that before the COVID-19 pandemic, Jyoti had worked in Delhi but she later quit her job.
Jyoti, whose YouTube channel and Instagram account have 3.77 lakh subscribers and 1.33 lakh followers respectively, allegedly was in contact with a Pakistani staffer working at the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi. On May 13, India had expelled that Pakistani official for allegedly indulging in espionage.
