The Indian government has set up an inquiry into the revelations that a Chinese company is spying on Indian citizens including the top political class and officials across the board.

The issue was raised in the ongoing Parliamentary session by Congress MP KC Venugopal on Wednesday.

Luo Sang aka Charlie Peng, the Chinese national being questioned by the income-tax department in the Rs 1,000-crore hawala racket, was arrested in 2018 by Special Cell of Delhi Police on allegations of espionage and other related offences.
