Pegasus spyware: Supreme Court ordered a probe
Allegations that Pegasus spyware targeted journalists, activists, and politicians reached the Supreme Court. The court ordered an independent technical committee probe.
Spyware on phones is not normal politics. If state power can silently read your device, free speech and opposition become theatre.
After Pegasus Project revelations named Indian numbers, petitions reached the Supreme Court. The court set up a technical committee process because the questions were serious.
Governments denied wrongdoing. The court still treated the claims as needing independent technical scrutiny. That is why this sits on the public record.
What is proven here
Proof level: serious public reporting + Supreme Court probe order. Individual targeting claims remain contested in politics. The court process is documented.
