'Harassment,' Says Amnesty After CBI Raids at its Offices in Bengaluru, Delhi

CBI is reportedly probing alleged irregularities of funds obtained by Amnesty India through the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act.

@musafir 😲
This government can go to any lengths!
@musafir this seems to be similar to the case @saketgokhale put up against OpIndia no? Violation of FCRA? Not an expert myself
@dbwashere @saketgokhale
Yes. The CBI raid comes a year after the Enforcement Directorate had carried out investigations into charges that the Amnesty group (Human Rights Group) had attempted to bypass the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act by floating a commercial entity, Amnesty International India Pvt Ltd. It's an allegation. Can't say much myself.
