The police said that a medical examination of Jyoti Malhotra, which is the necessary step before a person is sent to jail, was conducted at 11:15 pm on Wednesday. Following the medical procedure, she was taken to the Hisar court and presented before the magistrate at 9:30 am. Reportedly the police chose the early morning hour for her to be taken to court, in order to avoid media glares.
The court remanded her to judicial custody for 4 more days. The woman was reportedly being nurtured as an asset by Pakistan’s ISI. She had reportedly made multiple visits to the neighbouring country and was hosted by her handlers. She met several high-profile figures in Pakistan, including senior members of the Pakistan Army.
Malohtra was picked up by the Indian security agencies on May 16, along with several other individuals who were reportedly spying for Pakistan. She was booked under Sections 3 and 5 of the Official Secrets Act, 1923, and Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Act.
The woman was being questioned by the Intelligence Bureau and the National Investigation Agency. Regarding investigations, the Hisar Police revealed that Malohtra had been in touch with a Pakistani High Commision official, identified as Danish, from November 2023 to March 2025. This official was expelled by India on May 13. The woman reportedly met Danish at the High Commission for the first time when she went there to get a Visa to Pakistan.
