Some journalists associated with NewsClick were detained in New Delhi and their digital devices seized.
Police in New Delhi have arrested the editor of a news website and one of its administrators after raiding the homes of journalists working for the site, which has been critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist-led government.
Police said at least 46 people were questioned during the raids and their devices, including laptops and mobile phones, and documents were taken away for examination. That same month, India’s junior minister for information and broadcasting, Anurag Thakur, accused NewsClick of spreading an “anti-India agenda”, citing the New York Times report, and of working with the opposition Indian National Congress party.Media watchdogs including the Committee to Protect Journalists denounced the arrests and raids and said they were part of an intensifying crackdown on independent media under Mr Modi.
India’s anti-terrorism law has stringent requirements for bail, which mean individuals often spend months, sometimes years, in custody without being found guilty. Successive Indian governments have invoked the law, but it has been used with increasing frequency in recent years.
