  "account": "The Supreme Court has agreed to examine a plea for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into allegations of the hacking and theft of personal and medical data belonging to over 1.5 lakh citizens. The petition, filed under Article 32 of the Constitution, alleges a large-scale cyber intrusion that involves unauthorized access to sensitive personal information, including medical records, insurance claim details, Aadhaar-linked data, and other personally identifiable information. The breach allegedly affected citizens in six states and was carried out by unidentified entities, including foreign investment firms. The petitioner, Vitraya Technologies Pvt Ltd, alleges that the investigating authorities have failed to conduct a meaningful inquiry, despite repeated complaints, and that the investigation should be transferred to the CBI or a court-monitored special investigation team (SIT).",
