Singham is married to Jodie Evans, the co-founder of the controversial far-left anti-war organization CODEPINK, a political activist, and an author. She has claimed that the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks occurred because America had military bases in Saudi Arabia. 16 17
The investigative report highlighted two organizations linked to Singham, CODEPINK and No Cold War. According to the report, a fight occurred during a protest against anti-Asian hate crimes in Chinatown, London, between men aligned with No Cold War and supporters of the democracy movement in Hong Kong. 23

In the controversy, the name of American millionaire Neville Roy Singham also emerged in the NYT's report, which claimed that NewsClick was part of a global network that received funding from Singham, to allegedly spread Chinese propaganda in India.
"In New Delhi, corporate filings show, Singham's network financed a news site, NewsClick, that sprinkled its coverage with Chinese government talking points. 'China's history continues to inspire the working classes,' one video said," The New York Times report noted.
1) Born on May 13, 1954, in the United States, Neville Roy Singham is the son of leftist academic Archibald Singham. Singham's father was born in Burma to Sri Lankan parents and served as a professor of political science at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York until his demise in 1991.
2) Singham is the founder and former chairman of ThoughtWorks, a Chicago-based software consultancy. According to his LinkedIn profile, he served at the company for about 24 years from 1993 until 2017, when he sold it. He has a bachelor's degree in political science from the US-based Howard University and also attended the University of Michigan, his LinkedIn showed.
3) In 2016, Singham married activist Jodie Evans, a former Democratic political adviser and the co-founder of Code Pink. The NYT alleged that CodePink, once a staunch critic of China, has turned its defender in the recent past and linked the alleged shift in stance with Singham's network of funding.
This morning (3 October), Delhi Police conducted raids at 35 locations, including the residences of seven journalists associated with the news portal NewsClick, in connection with a case involving funding from China.
Earlier in August, a New York Times investigation implicated NewsClick as one of the organisations funded by a network associated with US millionaire Neville Roy Singham, allegedly promoting Chinese propaganda.
The report states that "from a think tank in Massachusetts to an event space in Manhattan, from a political party in South Africa to news organizations in India and Brazil, the Times tracked hundreds of millions of dollars to groups linked to Singham that mix progressive advocacy with Chinese government talking points."
An alleged "pro-China" news site funded by an American millionaire has found itself at the center of a debate about press freedom in India after an extensive raid on Tuesday swept up 46 journalists and contributors.
Five hundred officers of the Delhi Police's Special Cell searched more than 100 locations linked to NewsClick, whose editor Prabir Purkayastha and administrator Amit Chakraborty were among those detained. Law enforcement agencies seized electronic devices and sealed the news outlet's office in New Delhi.
Indian authorities have invoked a stringent anti-terrorism law from 1967 to make their arrests, although charges have yet to be made public. The Delhi Police said it was investigating connections between NewsClick and anti-government activities backed by China.
The United States, whose geostrategic partnership with India has faced a series of tests of late, said it was watching the developments. "We are aware of those concerns and have seen that reporting about this outlet's ties to the [People's Republic of China], but we can't comment yet on the veracity of those claims," U.S. State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel said on Tuesday.
The allegations trace back to a financial network connected to U.S. tech magnate Neville Roy Singham, who resides in Shanghai. A New York Times report in August linked the millionaire's funds to groups including Code Pink, which was co-founded by anti-war activist Jodie Evans, who is also Singham's wife.
The progressive groups promote pro-China views from New York to London by hosting rallies and forums, and their arguments mirror Beijing's denial of rights abuses against its Uyghur Muslim population in Xinjiang, as well as its claim to the democratically governed island of Taiwan. Evans herself is often seen protesting in the halls of the U.S. Capitol.
Indian authorities have raided NewsClick's office in the past as part of a money-laundering case the organization said ultimately did not hold up in court. It involved roughly $10 million received by the news site's parent company from two U.S.-based entities with reported links to Singham.
NewsClick, founded in 2009, is among the few Indian outlets that regularly criticize the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The fresh charges allege that Singham funded NewsClick to promote pro-China views.
The Delhi Police's court filings said Purkayastha, the founding editor, exchanged emails with Singham and employees of his Chinese company, discussing their intent to show that Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh were not part of India. China claims the northeastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh as part of its territory.
Authorities said the anti-terror case was initiated based on "secret inputs" that suggested there was an "intention to disrupt the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India," according to the court documents seen by The Hindu.
"NewsClick does not propagate Chinese propaganda on its website," it said in a statement on Wednesday. "NewsClick does not take directions from Neville Roy Singham regarding the content published on its website."
"News content sharing agreements between Chinese outlets like Xinhua and Indian media are a key medium of Chinese disinformation. Such 'news' from Chinese outlets, particularly on sensitive topics like the border dispute and internal disturbances in India, feed into social media cycles and are amplified by bot networks on social media sites," said Kalpit Mankikar, a China fellow at the Observer Research Foundation think tank in New Delhi.
Historically, media and political narratives in India were thought to be influenced by Russian propaganda. In recent years, however, the volume of Chinese information has grown, while associated concerns were further amplified by a deadly flare-up in 2020 at the India and China's Himalayan border.
The Editors Guild of India and the Press Club of India, two central bodies representing journalists in India, condemned the detention of NewsClick's journalists, as did the Indian National Congress, the country's main opposition party.
"Why does a government as strong & authoritarian as this one is feel threatened by a news website? And that too, one that is not even ranked very high in reach or readership?" Shashi Tharoor, the opposition leader, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
In New York City on Tuesday, protesters organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation demonstrated outside the offices of The New York Times over what they said was the paper's role in triggered the crackdown. NewsClick's statement described the August article as "motivated and bogus."
"The civil society, shaped by narratives pushed out by China-funded media, will try to create force in the parliament and in foreign policy discourse to have a more China-friendly and, in effect, an anti-Western foreign policy, even if that goes against India's own national security concerns," said Sriparna Pathak, an assistant professor at O.P. Jindal University in India's Haryana state.

The NCRI finds that the increase in direct action, targeting infrastructure and public spaces, is in part driven by organizations connected to CCP foreign influence efforts. While nominally focused on Israel, the current protests can be better understood as a well-funded initiative driving a revolutionary, anti-government, and anti-capitalist agenda, with the leading organizations serving as versatile tools for foreign entities hostile to the U.S. The methods of these organizations exacerbate societal tensions, polarize the younger generation, and appear to seek the destabilization of American institutions. NCRI assesses that these organizations will persist in inciting unrest throughout the summer of 2024 and in the lead-up to the U.S. presidential election.
Whether such terror connections are legal or not, they appear to be good business. Since Oct.7, BTNews has pivoted from pro-Russian and pro-Chinese content to a near-exclusive focus on Israel and Gaza, in the process more than doubling its follower count on both YouTube and Instagram:
