New Delhi: Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad reportedly hacked servers linked to Sam Pitroda, chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress and a close aide to Rahul Gandhi, in a covert cyber operation, according to a report by Sputnik India citing unnamed sources.
The alleged mission targeted Pitroda’s US-based servers to investigate possible connections between India’s opposition leaders and Hindenburg Research — the firm behind the explosive 2023 report that triggered massive financial turbulence for the Adani Group.

Sources claimed the cyber breach revealed encrypted chatrooms and undisclosed communications suggesting Rahul Gandhi may have had indirect ties with individuals associated with Hindenburg. The purported goal: to politically damage Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani ahead of upcoming elections.
No technical specifics or direct evidence have been made public, and the report remains unverified.
There has been no official response from the Israeli government, Mossad, Congress Party, Rahul Gandhi, or Sam Pitroda. The lack of confirmation leaves the claims in a cloud of speculation, though they have sparked political chatter.
The Hindenburg report in question had accused the Adani Group of stock manipulation and financial misconduct, charges the conglomerate has firmly denied.
