The development comes barely a month after Delhi Police arrested NewsClick editor Prabir Purkayastha and its HR head Amit Chakraborty under terror charges for receiving funds from China.
Responding to the report, NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha told The Indian Express: “These are not new allegations. They have been made in the past. We will respond to them in the appropriate forum, i.e. the court, as the matter is sub judice.”
