India's Assets Seized, Journalists Arrested

India's money laundering investigators have seized properties worth ₹7.52 billion linked to Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia in a probe against the Gandhis. The seizure includes properties in New Delhi and Mumbai, as well as investments in equity shares. Additionally, the Indian government's use of the Anti-Terrorism Law (UAPA) to clamp down on the press is causing concern about freedom of speech, with raids on journalists and arrests under the UAPA. The Indian authorities have also raided the homes and offices of journalists linked to the Newsclick news website, accusing them of receiving Chinese funds.
