Rupesh Kumar Singh

Rupesh Kumar Singh is a journalist from Jharkhand who is known for his reporting on Human rights violation and persecution of tribal people. In 2021 during the Pegasus Project revelations in India his phone number (including those of his two family members) were found in the list of potential targets for state surveillance by Pegasus (spyware). Rupesh claimed that the Union government of India had been targeting him for his reporting on violence by the security forces against the tribal people. He along with four other journalists targeted by the spyware moved the Supreme Court of India, seeking a mechanism for judicial oversight and punishments for the officials involved.
