The federal agency has sent the summons to Singham in China through Ministry of External Affairs. Singham, who has been named as an accused in the NewsClick case, previously rejected the allegations that he is running a funding network affiliated to the Chinese government’s propaganda arm to spread China’s talking points around the world, including India and through media outlet NewsClick.

The Delhi Police’s special cell has named him as an accused in the case, in which the editor and an employee of NewsClick were arrested. Close to 100 persons, including journalists and activists, were also raided last month.
