In April 2023, India's Income Tax department coordinated a series of raids against the church, investigating claims of money laundering and fraudulent cash transactions.[3][4] The raids related to a 2020 complaint brought by the Legal Rights Observatory with the Union Home Ministry, who claimed that a UK registered shell company was being used to launder foreign donations for tax purposes.[5]
