Amnesty International on Friday accused the Indian government of seeking to “instill fear” among rights groups after police raided one of its offices over alleged violations of foreign funding rules.Enforcement Directorate investigators searched the Amnesty office in the southern city of Bangalore for several hours on Thursday. Similar action has been taken against the environmental pressure group Greenpeace.The directorate, which investigates financial crimes, said the international rights watchdog was suspected of having channeled 360 million rupees ($4.8 million) into the country in violation of funding rules. A directorate official confirmed the raid and said Amnesty had breached rules by “floating a commercial entity” to bring in money from abroad. Amnesty India spokeswoman Smriti Singh told AFP the group was not aware of any material being seized but that it was assessing events. (AFP)
