Mamata Banerjee said Pegasus had approached the Bengal police department five years back "to sell their machines" and demanded Rs 25 crore for it.

Mamata Banerjee today said her government had turned down an offer to buy Israeli spyware Pegasus a few years ago. The use of the spyware to snoop on political rivals is "not acceptable", the Bengal Chief Minister told reporters.
