That's an Odisha-based YouTuber with Jyoti Malhotra, who is accused of passing sensitive
00:11
information to Pakistani authorities.
00:18
The 21-year-old came under the radar for her connection to Jyoti, whom she reportedly
00:22
got in touch with through YouTube in 2023. Priyanka met Jyoti in person for the first
00:27
time during Jyoti's visit to Puri in September 2024. The two struck up a friendly bond and
00:33
were seen travelling together to several destinations, including Jammu and Kashmir.
00:37
Priyanka reportedly told investigators that she looked up to Jyoti and aspired to become
00:41
a popular social media influencer like her.
00:48
While Jyoti's channel, Travel with Joe, had over 3.8 lakh subscribers, Priyanka's
00:53
pre-vlogs had a much smaller audience, featuring travel content mostly from Odisha and other
00:59
Indian states. Police said Priyanka was eager to grow her YouTube presence by associating with Jyoti.
01:09
On 25th March 2025, she even uploaded a vlog of her trip to Pakistan's Kertar
01:14
corridor titled Odia Girl in Pakistan. In an Instagram post, Priyanka distanced herself from
01:20
the controversy, stating, Jyoti was just a friend I met through YouTube. I had no knowledge of the
01:25
allegations against her. Had I known she was involved in spying for Pakistan, I would have cut
01:29
ties immediately, she said. She further added that she would fully cooperate with any investigative
01:35
agency that wishes to question her, emphasising, the nation comes first, Jai Hind.
01:40
Since 17 May 2025, Priyanka Senapati has been questioned for three consecutive days
01:45
by multiple agencies over her alleged links to Jyoti Malhotra. So far, investigators haven't found
01:51
any direct evidence implicating her in wrongdoing. However, the probe remains active and Priyanka
01:56
has not been arrested. Given the sensitivity of the case, officials said every aspect of her
02:01
connection with Jyoti is being closely scrutinised. Authorities are examining her laptop,
02:06
phone and social media accounts. They're also reviewing the bank transactions of both
02:11
Priyanka and her father, Raj Kishore Senapati, who runs a restaurant in Puri.
02:15
Sources said the origin of the funds used to establish the business is also under verification.
02:21
Her father told reporters that the intelligence bureau had questioned them
02:24
about Priyanka's Pakistan trip and her ties to Jyoti. He further added,
02:28
She visited Puri last September and came to our home.
02:31
My daughter is a student and wasn't aware of Jyoti's links to Pakistan.
02:35
Investigators are still tracing Jyoti's movements in Puri
02:38
and checking if she met anyone suspicious during her visit.
