The Delhi Police in its chargesheet against Newsclick, a prominent news portal, and its founder Prabir Purkayastha, accused them of several offences including terror funding and promoting Chinese propaganda. The chargesheet, comprising nearly 8,000 pages with annexures, also links Mr Purkayastha to the farmers' protests and the 2020 Delhi riots.
Mr Purkayastha is being investigated under the anti-terror law UAPA for allegedly receiving funding to broadcast Chinese propaganda in India. The NewsClick founder and its head of HR Amit Chakravarty were arrested on October 3 last year by Delhi Police's Special Cell. They were taken into custody after police raids across the city, and charged under the UAPA. Both have since been lodged in Delhi's Tihar Jail.
Terror Financing Allegations: The Delhi Police alleges that Mr Purkayastha was involved in collecting funds for terrorist activities. According to the chargesheet, there is evidence linking him to a conspiracy aimed at funding and supporting terrorist organisations, including the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba. The chargesheet claims that funds amounting to Rs 91 crore were channelled through Newsclick for such activities.
