Delhi HC Grants Bail to NewsClick's Prabir Purkayastha
The Delhi High Court has decided to allow Prabir Purkayastha, the head of NewsClick, to avoid being arrested.
This is because he is suspected of using money to promote pro-China stories.
Another person, Pranjal Pandey, also received the same protection.
The police are investigating because they think NewsClick got money from a foreign company in a way that broke the rules.
Delhi High Court granted anticipatory bail to NewsClick's founder Prabir Purkayastha.
Prabir Purkayastha and Pranjal Pandey received similar relief.
The bail is related to alleged pro-China propaganda.
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) registered the case.
The EOW alleges that the company received foreign investment in violation of the law.
