Earlier this week, the Delhi police searched the Wire’s office and the homes of its five staffers, days after BJP leader Amit Malviya accused the portal of maligning his and his party’s reputation through a criminal conspiracy, cheating and forged documents.
The portal, following Malviya’s complaint, had alleged that its consultant Devesh Kumar was behind the “fabrication of documents and forgery” of evidence used in its now-revoked Meta stories. Kumar was questioned by the Delhi police today.
