India raids Soros-backed Open Society locations over ‘dubious’ transactions

The Indian government raided eight Soros-backed offices in Bengaluru linked to Open Society Foundations (OSF) and associated entities, supported by the US billionaire.

The raid comes after suspicious transactions between OSF to NGOs in violation of Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) rules.

From the Deccan Herald:

The central agency raided the premises linked to Rootbridge Services Pvt Ltd in Ashoknagar, ASAR Social Advisor Pvt Ltd in Malleswaram, and a third unnamed company, a well-placed source in the ED has confirmed.

According to the source, the raids came after OSF transferred Rs 25 crore to the companies in “suspicious” transactions in the past few months. Former employees of Amnesty India chair the board of directors of these companies, the source added.

“OSF seems to have found FDI as a substitute for channeling funds into India after the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) placed it under the Prior Reference Category (PRC),” the source told DH.

In short, India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED), responsible for enforcing economic laws, became suspicious of OSF after large numbers of “dubious” transactions to consulting companies based in Bengaluru were discovered.

India has launched raids on George Soros’ Open Society Foundation amid accusations of working against the country’s interests.

The crackdown follows an investigation into alleged violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).

News of the raids were a hopeful sign for many on X:

The globalist puppet master George Soros just got a brutal wake-up call—India’s had enough of his meddling and raided his Open Society Foundation, exposing his slimy tentacles for what they are: a threat to sovereignty. This isn’t some tin-foil conspiracy—it’s a full-on…

Its reassuring that India is taking the global state of foreign interference seriously. The flow of money without the proper restrictions and tracking (follow the money) creates havoc in a nation. Raid on Soros’ Foundation almost makes up for Narendra Modi meeting with Bill Gates

The United States government should be conducting raids on George Soros’s open society foundation as well
