Dozens of government tax officials showed up Wednesday at the BBC's offices in India for a second consecutive day as part of a"survey" being conducted over alleged tax evasion by the British broadcaster. Indian news said laptops and mobile phones belonging to several journalists and employees were seized on Tuesday from BBC offices in Delhi and Mumbai by the officials.
In an email to employees in India, the BBC urged all but its broadcast department staff to work from home for the time being. The email noted that while no employees were compelled to answer questions about their personal income,"they should answer other salary-related queries" and"answer questions comprehensively."
The BBC said its documentary was"rigorously researched" and it has stood by all of the information presented. The IT raid at BBC’s offices reeks of desperation and shows that the Modi government is scared of criticism.
