BBC office survey: The British government is closely monitoring reports of tax surveys conducted at the offices of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in India, sources said on Tuesday.
Earlier during the day, BBC’s offices in Delhi and Mumbai were searched by the Income Tax Department as part of a tax evasion investigation, officials said.
The development has come after the BBC released a two-part documentary on PM Modi a couple of weeks ago on the 2002 Gujarat riots and India.
