The 33-year-old had been in police remand for 10 days prior to that.
The Haryana Police had on May 21 said that till now no such fact has come to light to show that the YouTuber had access to any military, defence or strategic information or that she was in contact with any terrorist organization.
The police has not issued any updates in the matter since.
Hisar SP Shashank Kumar Sawan earlier said that the accused was in contact with some people knowing they are Pakistan Intelligence Operatives (PIOs). 'But till now no such fact has come to light directly which can be said that the accused was in contact with any terrorist organization. No fact has come to light so far regarding the accused's involvement in any terrorist incidents,' added the SP.
The SP said the police seized three mobile phones, a laptop and some other electronic devices from the accused.
Malhotra has a YouTube channel called Travel with Jo with over 3,77,000 subscribers and an Instagram account with over 1,32,000 followers.
'She visited Pakistan multiple times and also went to China once. We are analysing her financial transactions and travel details. She was in touch with PIOs (Pakistan Intelligence Operatives). She did not have direct access to military or defence information, though Hisar is a strategic location,' the SP had shared.
Sawan had said one of her Pakistan visits was 'sponsored'. 'She met some high-profile persons. Why and what information was shared; all these things are being probed.' The police also said she possibly 'fell into a trap for views and likes' and 'her travel details show more expenses than her known sources of income'.

MAGA singer's Canada gigs cancelled: Backlash over Sean Feucht's anti-diversity views; organisers cite safety risks
Sean Feuch (Picture: Instagram) US singer Sean Feucht's permit to hold a concert at the York Redoubt National Historic Site in Halifax was cancelled this week by Parks Canada. Officials cited safety concerns following public backlash against his anti-2SLGBTQ+, anti-women's rights, and anti-diversity remarks on social media. Feucht, a religious performer with links to the MAGA movement, was scheduled to perform on Wednesday. His permits for other events in Charlottetown (P.E.I.), Moncton (New Brunswick), and some parts of Quebec were also revoked soon after. LGBTQ+ groups welcomed the decision. Cameron Cassidy, head of Pride P.E.I., said, 'The City of Charlottetown absolutely did the right thing by revoking that permit. It shows respect for the queer community.' But not everyone agreed. James Turk, director at Toronto Metropolitan University's Centre for Free Expression, said cancelling a permit over a person's views is dangerous. 'The foundation of democracy is public discourse, including ideas we disagree with,' he said. 'Censorship only amplifies such voices.' Feucht later performed at a private venue in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, hosted by pastors Christine and Neil Barr. They said they faced hundreds of hate messages and some protests but went ahead with the show. In response to criticism, Feucht posted: 'If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, no one would've cared. But my Christian beliefs are seen as a threat.' Opponents said his views go against Parks Canada's values of inclusion and safety. Turk countered that while physical safety must be ensured, 'a subjective feeling of being unsafe' isn't legal grounds to silence someone.

Europe Fractures Over Palestine? Italy's Meloni Rejects France's Recognition Push As ‘Illusion'
Rome: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has rebuked France's decision to move toward recognising the State of Palestine, warning that such symbolic gestures risk misleading the world into believing a solution exists when it does not. Speaking to La Repubblica on Saturday, Meloni said, 'I am very much in favour of the State of Palestine, but I am not in favour of recognising it before its establishment.' 'If something that does not exist is recognised on paper, the problem could appear to be solved when it is not,' she further said. Her statement has come at a time when France's President Emmanuel Macron is preparing to make what he called a 'historic' declaration at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in September. Macron has earlier declared, 'True to its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognise the State of Palestine.' The message appeared on both X and Instagram and has since been echoed across international headlines. France's pivot is more than symbolic. It places one of the EU's core powers squarely in the camp of the 142 nations that already recognise Palestinian statehood, according to an AFP count. This includes major countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America, but it notably excludes the United States, Germany and Italy. Like Italy, Germany has signalled its hesitation. Berlin made it clear it is not ready to follow Macron's lead, emphasising instead the need to achieve 'long-overdue progress' toward a two-state solution, rather than simply affirming it in principle. But Macron's announcement has reignited tensions with Israel and the United States, both of which have long opposed unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood. According to diplomats aligned with Tel Aviv and Washington, the fear is that such moves could sideline negotiations and embolden hardliners. The backdrop to all this is the historical arc that began in 1947, when the United Nations approved a resolution dividing British-mandated Palestine into two separate entities – one Jewish and one Arab. The next year, Israel declared statehood. The Arab state, meanwhile, has remained caught in limbo, recognised by many, but without defined borders, sovereignty or a unified government. Meloni's concern is rooted in that unresolved reality. While carefully worded, her message delivered a warning that premature recognition could solidify the illusion of peace without delivering it, leaving both Israelis and Palestinians trapped in the very limbo that generations of diplomacy have failed to escape.
