The "survey" -- linked to alleged tax evasion -- which started this morning, will continue overnight, sources said.
Union minister Anurag Thakur today doubled down on the Income Tax Department "survey" at the Delhi and Mumbai offices of the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation), saying "No one is above the law". Amid opposition and Editor's Guild criticism of the Income Tax Department action, the BJP has accused the BBC of doing "venomous and shallow" reporting on India.
The "survey" -- linked to alleged tax evasion -- which started this morning, will continue overnight, sources said.
The Income Tax authorities, they added, are checking account details dating as far back as 2012.
The tax officials have already checked the employees' personal laptops and cellphones. They have also checked desktops, searching individual logins of employees with the keyword "tax".
