India's NDTV Raided: Politics, patriotism and the press

No country has more TV news channels than India. And one of them says it's under political attack for criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
When India's NDTV network was raided on June 5, government officials said it was part of a financial investigation, but the channel's directors called it a thinly disguised witch-hunt, an attack on press freedom orchestrated by Modi's BJP party.
