Bharat Samachar

The Income Tax Department Thursday rejected allegations that its officials "suggested changes" in news stories while they conducted raids at multiple offices of the Dainik Bhaskar media group on charges of tax evasion.

Calling the tax raids on Dainik Bhaskar and Bharat Samachar an attempt to scare the media, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday demanded that such actions be stopped immediately and the media be allowed to work freely.

As the media group Dainik Bhaskar and Uttar Pradesh-based TV channel Bharat Samachar were raided today over alleged tax evasion, opposition parties alleged that news outlets critical to the government were being targeted.

Income Tax raids took place at offices of the media group Dainik Bhaskar and an Uttar Pradesh-based news channel this morning. The Dainik Bhaskar group has been accused of tax evasion, say sources.
