The Pegasus Project has revealed that Sanjay Shyam, an independent journalist from Bihar, has also figured on the potential list for surveillance using Israel’s NSO spyware.
Shyam, who believes that journalism means standing by the people and shedding light on their problems rather than siding with the government, is not surprised that his phone has been listed for attempted hacking.
The Wire speaks to Shyam to understand the reasons as to why he has figured on the snoop list and the state of journalism in the country.
