The Court observed that public interest and national security considerations assume special significance where the allegations, if established, would impair the sovereign interest of the State.
The video surfaced at a time when the BJP has accused the state government and Tourism Minister Mohamed Riyas of inviting Jyoti to the state for tourism promotion.
Following the arrest of Jyoti Malhotra, Singh allegedly made attempts to delete his communication history with the accused PIOs in an effort to evade detection.
Sources said the police teams from J&K and Rajasthan earlier submitted a list of questions to the Civil Lines police. The other agencies are also in contact with the Hisar police.
Hisar police spokesman Vikas Kumar said that the remand extension was sought as the forensic analysis of Jyoti’s laptop, electronic gadgets and three mobile phones is underway.
