India’s top court asks: Did gov’t use Pegasus spyware to snoop? (Bloomberg, Al Jazeera)

India’s Supreme Court has ordered a panel of experts to investigate whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration used the Pegasus spyware to surveil opposition leaders, activists, tycoons, judges and journalists.

The top court’s bench of three judges headed by Chief Justice NV Ramana said in its order on Wednesday that the possible violation of citizens’ right to privacy and free speech compelled it to seek out the truth in the matter. The government cannot always get a “free pass” by using the argument of national security, the order added.
