This Tuesday, police in New Delhi (India) has explored the wording of NewsClick, as well as the homes and offices of several local journalists accusing them of “illegal financing”. One of the senior officials of the Ministry of the Interior has confirmed that the operation has been carried out with the aim of “avoiding propaganda” from the media, as well as identifying people who have received “foreign funds” in the media to get the business moving.

Prabir Purkayastha, NewsPhone Chief Founder and Editor and Company Human Resources Officer, are detained and explore more than ten homes.

Several people concentrated Tuesday at the New York Times headquarters and accused him of being the "accomplice of repression." In fact, this US media accused NewsClick and other media of being part of an information propaganda network in China, which has driven the police operation.
