Delhi Police on Tuesday raided the official residence of CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury\u2019s residence over his suspected involvement in entities linked to NewsClick. Earlier, Delhi Police Special Cell raided the residences of journalists and employees linked to NewsClick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some journalists associated with the news portal have been brought to the Delhi Police Special Cell office at Lodhi Road. Reports said that the police have recovered the dump data from laptops, mobile phones of the journalists of the news portal.

Speaking on the matter, BJP Leader Dishyant Kumar Gautam stated that any organisation or party which functions with the help of Chinese funds or works with anti-national elements is bound to face such actions. He added that these organisations should realise that this drama cannot go any further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Press Club of India mentioned that they are supervising the development and will be releasing a detailed statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The issue of alleged China funding to NewsClick has been doing rounds for almost a year. The news portal first came under agencies glare in 2021, when the Economic Offences Wing of Delhi Police lodged a case against it.
