The Supreme Court has issued notice on Vitraya Technologies’ plea seeking a CBI investigation into an alleged breach involving medical records and other personal data of nearly 1.5 lakh Indian citizens. The company says the incident covered six states and that records were transferred to a Singapore-based server. Vitraya alleges that police registered an FIR on August 29, 2025, nearly six months after its complaint, against unknown persons under provisions of the Information Technology Act. Its petition claims more than 42,000 unauthorised login attempts preceded the alleged attack. The allegations against rival companies and others have not been proved in court. The bench is considering the plea, not deciding liability.
