Embattled digital media outlet NewsClick termed the Delhi Police raids conducted on its offices as a “blatant attempt” at preventing the outlet from continuing its reporting and rejected charges of carrying Chinese propaganda, on Wednesday. It also claimed that no information about the FIR or the exact particulars of the offences with which it has been charged were given to the media outlet.
In a statement, NewsClick said: “On October 3, 2023, raids were carried out by the special cell of Delhi Police at various locations, including Newsclick’s offices, residences of journalists and employees associated with Newsclick. Several persons were questioned, and as of now, our director Prabir Purkayastha and Amit Chakraborty have been arrested.”
