After the New York Times reported on the Indian government buying the Pegasus spyware as part of a larger arms deal in 2017, the Editors Guild of India urged a Supreme Court-appointed committee to take cognisance of the report's claims.
The committee, headed by retired Justice RV Raveendran, was formed in October to investigate the use of the spyware, developed by Israel's NSO Group, against Indian citizens. In a statement released on Sunday, the guild said it had written to Justice Raveendran in this regard.
