Britain’s Foreign Office said it was closely monitoring reports of tax surveys conducted at the BBC’s offices. Media rights advocates and India’s opposition condemned the searches
One of two sources in the BBC’s New Delhi office told Reuters that tax officials were speaking with the accounts officer and no one was allowed to leave.
The government has dismissed the BBC documentary as propaganda. The foreign ministry in January said it was meant to push a “discredited narrative”, was biased, lacked objectivity and showed a “continuing colonial mindset”.While the search was in progress, television news crews set up outside the office near Connaught Place in central Delhi to report developments.
It said the department also searched the offices of media outlets NewsClick, Newslaundry, Dainik Bhaskar and Bharat Samachar in 2021 after their “critical coverage” of the government.
