The Supreme Court denies bail to Jyoti Malhotra, a Haryana-based travel blogger accused of spying for Pakistan. In separate reporting by major outlets, the court says the allegations are “very serious,” and that matters involving national security cannot be treated lightly. The court dismisses Malhotra’s request for bail and orders her to face trial. Both sources note that the Supreme Court’s decision is grounded in the seriousness of the charges rather than a finding on the merits of the prosecution’s case. The court’s stance reflects its view that risks connected to allegations of cross-border espionage require the accused to remain in custody pending the outcome of the trial. Details beyond the court’s characterization of the allegations and the dismissal of bail are not reported in the provided excerpts.
