"@PMOIndia needs to explain why it needs details of a person protected by the SPG. All his movements are recorded by SPG #Snoopgate2," Tharoor tweeted.

"Police sought telephone numbers, addresses of RG's associates & friends. Delhi Police needs to clarify why this info was needed #Snoopgate2," he said.

The former Union Minister said: "Original #Snoopgate involved misuse of Gujarat Govt machinery for surveillance of woman. #Snoopgate2 involves misuse of police vs opponents?"
