Dainik And Divya And IT Raids

I found that Divya Bhaskar, which alleged that Gujrat undercounted Covid deaths, and Dainik Bhaskar, whose offices were raided by Income Tax, belong to the same group.

Is it a case of retribution? Or just coincidence? 


After I published this post, I read the articles below. Does it seem like The Hindu has the same suspicion?
