Description
Journalists and onlookers gather outside the building of BBC's offices in Delhi and Mumbai as Indian tax authorities raid the British broadcaster's offices, weeks after it aired a documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's actions during deadly sectarian riots in 2002. Press freedom in the world's biggest democracy has suffered during Modi's tenure, rights activists say, and the opposition Congress party condemned the raids, saying there was an "undeclared emergency" in the country.
