Income Tax officials conduct ‘surveys’ at BBC offices in Delhi and Mumbai
New Delhi, February 14: The Income Tax Department officials on Tuesday conducted a survey operation at BBC’s offices in Delhi and Mumbai.
As per the latest reports, the IT department is looking at documents related to the business operations of the company and those related to its Indian arm.
As part of a survey, the department only covers the business premises of a company and does not raid residences and other locations of its promoters or directors.
Congress, TMC react after BBC Office in Delhi Raided by IT Dept
Meanwhile, Congress reacted to searches at the BBC office by the IT department and called it an “undeclared emergency”.
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra also took a jibe at the Narendra Modi-led government and said, “Reports of Income Tax raid at BBC’s Delhi office. Wow, really? How unexpected.”
The survey operations at the BBC offices come amid a controversy over United Kingdom’s national broadcaster’s documentary on Prime Minister Modi and the 2002 Gujarat riots.
Last month, the government issued directions for blocking multiple YouTube videos and Twitter posts sharing links to the controversial documentary. Subsequently, the Supreme Court on February 3 sought responses from the Centre and others on the separate petitions challenging its decision to block the documentary.
The top court had directed the central government to produce original records relating to its decision to block the BBC documentary.
