India’s income tax department conducts searches at BBC offices

India's income tax department conducted searches at the BBC's New Delhi and Mumbai offices on Tuesday, two sources said.

The income tax department and the BBC did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment, reports Reuters.

The move comes weeks after the government blocked the sharing of clips of a BBC documentary that questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership during deadly riots in 2002 in the western state of Gujarat.
