NewsClick is being investigated for alleged conspiracy to disrupt the country’s sovereignty.
Indian police filed a complaint on Aug 17 claiming NewsClick received funds from China to push biased news criticising India’s policies and projects.
Media rights and opposition groups in India have said the investigation into NewsClick and surrounding accusations are part of a crackdown on the press – a charge dismissed by the government.It was shared with lawyers of the people named in the complaint on Friday, days after officers raided NewsClick’s New Delhi office and journalists’ homes, and then arrested its founder-editor Prabir Purkayastha and a senior administrative official.
“It is further learnt that big Chinese Telecom companies like Xiaomi, Vivo, etc incorporated thousands of shell companies in India in violation” of India’s foreign currency laws “for illegally infusing foreign funds in India in furtherance of this conspiracy,” the complaint said. NewsClick said this week it does not publish any news or information at the behest of any Chinese entity or authority. Its lawyers have challenged the complaint in the Delhi High Court.
