From a Wall Street Journal story by Tripti Lahiri and Shan Li headlined “Terror Probe, Tax Raids: Journalists See Efforts to Silence Dissent in India”:

At around 6:30 a.m., dozens of police fanned out to an office and private homes in India’s capital earlier this month. They searched houses and seized books, laptops and phones. They interrogated people for hours.

When one of them subjected to a search pressed them for a warrant, he said a policeman whispered that the search didn’t require one—it was happening under a stringent antiterrorism law.
