Jyoti Rani's police custody extended by four days; vlogger didn't have access to secret information, says Police
Hisar travel vlogger Jyoti Rani's police custody was on Thursday (May 22, 2025) extended for four days.
Jyoti, arrested on charges of espionage last week, was produced before the court on completion of five days police remand.
Statement of Hisar police
Superintendent of Police, Hisar, Shashank Kumar Sawan said that the vlogger didn't have access to secret information related to defence and military, but the FSL report of her mobile phone and laptop was awaited to ascertain the details of information shared by her with Pakistan Intelligence operatives.
In a press statement on Thursday (May 22, 2025) the Hisar police maintained there was no direct evidence to suggest that she was in touch with any terrorist organisation. Some central agencies were also interrogating her, but she was in the custody of the Hisar Police, said the statement. It also refuted several rumours being spread in the media regarding the revelations made by her during interrogation
According to the FIR, the woman purportedly told the police during interrogation that she ran a Youtube channel, 'Travel With JO', and met Ehsan-Ur-Rahim alias Danish two years ago when she went to the Pakistan High Commission seeking a visa to the country. She stayed in contact with Rahim over phone and twice visited Pakistan where she met his acquaintance Ali Ahwan, who arranged for her stay and travel in the country.

Minerals and a strategic location: Why Greenland is coveted
Greenland's location puts it on the shortest route for missiles between Russia and the United States. Washington has "legitimate complaints about the lack of surveillance of the airspace and submarine areas east of Greenland," said Ulrik Pram Gad, also of the Danish Institute of International Studies. Also its strategic position for when new shipping lanes are freed up due to melting ice adds importance, but Pram Gad believes Trump is using "exaggerated terms". Trump in 2019, during his first term in office, floated the idea of a US purchase of Greenland, but that was rebuffed. Potential mining sector Since 2009, Greenlanders have been in charge of deciding how their natural resources are used. Access to Greenland's resources is considered crucial by the United States, which signed a cooperation memorandum for the sector in 2019. The EU followed four years later with its own agreement. Greenland's soil is well-explored, which has enabled a detailed map of resources to be drawn up. The EU has identified 25 of the 34 minerals on its official list of critical raw materials in Greenland, including rare earths. "As the demand for minerals is rising, there is a need to go and look for untapped resources," said Ditte Brasso Sorensen, an analyst at Think Tank Europa. "Actors are more and more aware they need to diversify their sources, especially when it comes to the dependence to China on rare earth elements." Adding to this is the fear that China will get its hands on the mineral resources, she explained. Yet mining in Greenland is currently largely non-existent. There are only two mines on the island -- one for rubies, which is looking for new investors, and the other for anorthosite, a rock containing titanium. Financially dependent Economically, the territory, which is seeking to move away from Danish rule, depends on annual subsidies from Copenhagen -- which account for a fifth of its GDP -- and on fishing. The population's hopes are partly pinned on the opening of an international airport in the capital, Nuuk, in November to help develop tourism in the Arctic region. Infrastructure is also a key issue for the development of the mining industry. "When it comes to extractive industries, Trump is putting Greenland on the mining map in discourse but it's hard to say how it could evolve as there is a lack of investors," noted Lill Rastad Bjorst, an associate professor at Aalborg University specialising in Greenland. Sorensen also stressed the inherent difficulties of extracting resources in Greenland, with its "very harsh weather conditions, a protected environment and lots of costs with the need to develop the physical and digital infrastructure". Public opposition to uranium mining in southern Greenland prompted legislation banning the extraction of radioactive products. Another potential resource to be exploited is oil but this is at a standstill. "The government of Greenland has paused their commitment to oil exploration in Greenland and sees a great potential in hydropower," Rastad Bjorst said.
