Srinagar: Former chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti's daughter and her media advisor, Iltija Mufti, on Wednesday claimed that her phone has been hacked by the Pegasus spyware.
 
She also shared a screenshot of an alert she received on her Apple iPhone on her social media account.
 
Iltija also lashed out at ruling Bharatiya Janta Party for snooping on women for refusing to toe their line.
 
“Got an Apple alert that my phone’s been hacked by Pegasus which GOI has admittedly procured & weaponised to harass critics & political opponents. BJP shamelessly snoops on women only because we refuse to toe their line. How low will you stoop?" she said in a post on X.
