Bhubaneswar, May 19: Odia YouTuber Priyanka Senapati has locked her Instagram account following mounting controversy over her alleged connection with Jyoti Malhotra, a fellow content creator who was recently arrested on charges of spying for Pakistan. The development has sparked widespread attention, especially after a photo of the two went viral during Jyoti’s earlier visit to Puri.

Senapati, a resident of Kalika Devi Sahi near the Puri Jagannath Temple, has publicly denied any involvement in espionage. In a social media post before locking her account, she declared, “My country comes first,” while also stating that she only knew Jyoti as a fellow YouTuber and blogger. “Our interaction was strictly limited to content creation. I had no idea she was involved in such serious anti-national activities,” she added.

Priyanka has expressed her full willingness to cooperate with any investigation. Authorities in Puri have now launched a probe into the nature of her association with Jyoti Malhotra, especially after it emerged that Priyanka had also shared videos from her visit to Pakistan—similar to Jyoti. The investigation is ongoing, and her social media activities are being closely examined.
