Pegasus row: Bihar CM seeks detailed probe into allegations of phone-hacking

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Monday said that a detailed inquiry must be conducted to bring out the truth regarding the allegations of phone-hacking, which have crippled the functioning of Parliament for the past few days.

Talking to media persons after the customary Janata Darbar, Kumar said that the issue (allegations of snooping via Pegasus surveillanceware) should be debated, and the government must take appropriate steps in keeping with gravity of the matter. “Investigation of the issue is also important as it is not known who is after the phone tapping or hacking,” said Kumar.
