The BBC’s offices in Mumbai and New Delhi have been raided by income tax authorities. The searches come after the launch of BBC documentary India: The Modi Question, which was critical of the country’s president Narendra Modi.
While the doc only aired in the UK, the Indian government called it “anti-India garbage” and protests were held outside the BBC’s headquarters in central London. “The Income Tax Authorities are currently at the BBC offices in New Delhi and Mumbai and we are fully cooperating.
