PAN, address of Alt News donors not shared with police, says Razorpay

After fact-checking website Alt News said its payments gateway Razorpay had shared its donor data with the Delhi Police without informing it, company CEO and co-founder Harshil Mathur on Friday issued a statement explaining their position on the matter.

While Mr. Mathur did not directly refer to Alt News, he said the company had received a written request from the police under Section 91 of the Cr.PC to share transaction records of "a specific business for a specific time period" for FCRA investigation.

He said they immediately reached out to the police authorities concerned, sent a "senior leader" from Bengaluru to Delhi for this, and consulted multiple legal experts, and "got a unanimous view that we have to comply with the request".
