The Editors Guild of India (EGI) has urged retired Supreme Court judge R. V. Raveendran, who is overseeing the expert committee probe into the Pegasus issue, to take cognisance of a New York Times report which claimed that the Indian government had bought the spyware in 2017.
“We are writing this letter with reference to an investigative report that has been published by the New York Times on January 28, 2022, titled 'The Battle for the World’s Most Powerful Cyberweapon', in which serious allegations have been raised with respect to purchase and use of the Pegasus spyware by the government of India,” it said.
