The search of BBC offices in India by tax officials has ended after three days.

The authorities entered the offices in New Delhi and Mumbai on Tuesday, with staff facing lengthy questioning or told to stay at the office overnight.

The BBC said: "We will continue to co-operate with the authorities and hope matters are resolved as soon as possible."

It said it "will continue to report without fear or favour".

The investigation comes weeks after the BBC aired a documentary in the UK critical of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The BBC statement continued: "We are supporting staff - some of whom have faced lengthy questioning or been required to stay overnight - and their welfare is our priority.

"Our output is back to normal and we remain committed to serving our audiences in India and beyond.
