Income Tax officials landed at the BBC offices in Delhi and Mumbai this morning for searches, weeks after a huge controversy over the UK national broadcaster’s documentary series on Prime Minister Modi and allegations linked to Gujarat riots.
The taxmen were carrying out a “survey” over allegations of international taxation and transfer pricing irregularities involving the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation), as per sources.
Around 20 tax officials searched the BBC’s Delhi office. In Mumbai, BBC Studios that deals with production was searched.
