In an affidavit submitted before the Supreme Court, the Centre has "unequivocally" denied allegations that the government used military-grade spyware Pegasus to hack the phones of journalists, lawyers, and activists. The government will also establish a committee of experts to look into "all aspects" of the snooping allegations. The SC—which is hearing a batch of petitions in the matter—has adjourned the case till tomorrow.
