A day after a joint investigation by Amnesty International and Washington Post suggested that two Indian journalists had been targeted with Pegasus spyware, few prominent dailies carried a report from an Indian source.
The investigation came two months after several politicians and journalists claimed they had received alerts from Apple about “state-sponsored attackers”. Siddharth Varadarajan, founding editor of The Wire, and Anand Mangnale, the South Asia editor at The Organised Crime and Corruption Report Project, were among those targeted, with “the latest identified case” in October, it said.
