Indian tax agents raid BBC for 2nd day, after it aired documentary critical of Modi

MUMBAI, India — Indian tax agents conducted what they called "surveys" of BBC offices in Delhi and Mumbai for a second consecutive day Wednesday, just weeks after the British broadcaster aired a documentary critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

More than a dozen income tax officials first entered BBC newsrooms early Tuesday, seizing accounts, financial documents, and phones of BBC employees. They told those who had not yet come into the office to stay home. More than a 100 employees were in the offices at the time.

Condemnation has poured in from press freedom advocates inside India and around the world. The Press Club of India the searches a "clear cut case of vendetta." Amnesty International called them an "affront to free speech."

Reaction was more muted though from the U.S. State Department, where spokesperson Ned Price referred journalists to Indian authorities. He said he was "not in a position to offer a judgement" but added that Washington supports "the importance of free press around the world."

The searches came weeks after the BBC aired a two-part documentary series critical of India's prime minister, Narendra Modi. India: The Modi Question examined Modi's role in anti-Muslim raids that killed hundreds in his home state of Gujarat in 2002.

Modi's government banned it from being shown inside India and forced social media companies like Twitter and YouTube to take down clips using emergency laws.
