YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, who has been arrested for allegedly passing on sensitive information to Pakistani intelligence operatives, had uploaded a video after the Pahalgam attack blaming tourists and the government for the incident.

The video was uploaded by Malhotra on her Instagram account, which is now suspended.

"Not just the government, this (attack) is the responsibility of every individual who visits these places ... and should be watchful. I know J&K has high security, there are Army and police personnel in every corner. If something like this has happened despite that then we are also at fault in some way. Perhaps we weren't watchful (enough) ... which is why this happened. We should be watchful and responsible," she said.

She further said that it is shocking how some people may have supported or aided the terrorists involved in the attack.
