Sixteen electronic devices have been seized in police searches at the Wire’s office and residences linked to its staff in Delhi and Mumbai, according to employees at the portal. The organisation is yet to receive the hash value of the devices. (Newslaundry later learned on November 3 that a total of 18 devices were seized.)
These devices were seized from three founding editors, the deputy editor, a reporter, the head of business, and the news portal’s accounts department.
