The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed an additional charge sheet against Amnesty International India Pvt Ltd (AIIPL), its former executive director Aakar Patel, and six others in a case involving alleged violations of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) in 2019. The CBI, concluding its probe, filed the supplementary charge sheet on December 15, following its initial charge sheet in January 2022. The charges include criminal conspiracy under the Prevention of Corruption Act, accusing Amnesty of receiving foreign funding without the required FCRA license and disguising it as an investment.
