Senior Journalist Abhisar Sharma turned to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday evening following his release by the Delhi police. Sharma, along with numerous other journalists, had been detained by the Delhi Police's Special Cell in connection with the investigation into the digital news portal NewsClick and the purported Chinese funding associated with it.
"After a day long interrogation by Delhi special cell, I am back home. Each and every question posed will be answered. Nothing to fear . And I will keep questioning people in power and particularly those who are afraid of simple questions . Not backing down at any cost," Abhisar Sharma said.
On Tuesday morning, Delhi police conducted raids at 30 locations connected to NewsClick. While the journalist community and the opposition denounced it as an assault on free speech, government sources contended that the action was initiated due to alleged activities against India's 'sovereignty'.
NewsClick has reportedly been charged under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), a stringent anti-terrorism law.
