Indian tax authorities raided the BBC’s New Delhi and Mumbai offices on February 14, 2023, weeks after the British broadcaster aired in the UK a documentary about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s actions during deadly sectarian riots in 2002. Modi’s government banned the documentary from being shown in India, and a spokesman for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party called the broadcaster “the most corrupt organisation in the world”. The BBC has said it stands by the documentary, and that it was cooperating with the investigation.
