Law enforcement needs exemptions in India's privacy bill, senior official says via adityakalra
NEW DELHI - Allowing law enforcement to commit “authorized privacy violations” will ensure investigations are not hindered, a senior government official told Reuters on Wednesday, amid worries that India’s privacy law will increase state surveillance.
But the bill says any government agency can be exempted from the law “in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India” or for “preventing incitement” of certain offences, a provision privacy advocates said would allow agencies to abuse access. India’s information technology minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad, said on Wednesday the bill would be sent to a parliamentary panel for further review.
