Income Tax Department searches BBC's Delhi-Mumbai office

Income Tax Department (IT) officials are conducting searches at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) office. The news agency reported that IT officials are conducting searches at the BBC's offices in Delhi and Mumbai. Officers arrived at the BBC office on Tuesday morning and got the staff's phones switched off. No official statement has been issued by the BBC yet. Let us tell you that the BBC office in Delhi is in HT House building located on KG Marg.

The Congress has termed the search at the BBC office as an undeclared emergency. A tweet has been made from the official Twitter handle of the Congress party. The tweet read, "First came the BBC documentary, it was banned. Now IT raid on BBC. Undeclared emergency." Here we are demanding JPC in Adani's case and there the government is after BBC.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has also targeted the government regarding this search. He said that here we are demanding JPC in Adani's case and there the government is after BBC. Wisdom opposite to the time of destruction.

BBC was recently in the news for its controversial documentary. This documentary was made on the 2002 Gujarat riots. The screening of this documentary was banned by the central government. There was a ruckus for its screening in many universities of the country.
