1 min read

ISLAMABAD, Sep 20(ABC): The Indian government-led by Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi which had acquired spyware from Israel as part of a weapon purchase deal in 2017, is using it to witch-hunting of political leaders, human rights activists and journalists.

Richmond-based gastroenterologist Dr Lokesh Vuyurru, an Indian-American doctor, has moved a lawsuit in the US court against PM Modi, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and business tycoon Gautam Adani on a host of issues, including spying of the political figures along with other Indians through use of Pegasus spyware.

The US District Court for the District of Columbia, on September 1, issued summons to all these leaders, along with several others, which were served on them in India earlier this year.
