NewsClick Funding Scam: ED Summons Neville Singham

The NewsClick funding scam has caused an uproar in the media fraternity as the news agency’s links with China emerged in this investigation. The probe has found that Neville Roy Singham, who is an American national based in China’s Shanghai city, has been actively involved in the money laundering that took place in NewsClick, which received funds from China. The Enforcement Directorate has consequently issued a summon for Neville to record his statement on this case, which has witnessed significant developments in recent times.

However, since Neville is currently in China, the notice has been passed on via Bharat’s Ministry of External Affairs by the courts. The Chinese authorities are yet to comply with this request. Meanwhile, the ED has found close ties between Neville and the Chinese establishment in this NewsClick funding scam investigation. The agency has been consequently shut down as the ED continues its investigation. Singham is reportedly involved in the financial network and activities that support the Chinese propaganda in Bharat as well as in different parts of the world. Further developments in the NewsClick funding scam are now awaited.
